I'm less happy with this - my gut feeling in that command-line options should override evnironment variables. I configure my environment to suit my general requirements and I override this on a command-by- command basis via command line options if I need to. Are there other commands where the environment overrides the command line? --=20 Peter Jeremy --SLDf9lqlvOQaIe6s Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk6Fm6IACgkQ/opHv/APuIcFLACguwEFGR1QAS0VsfQBQAcaxHv+ /K4AoLgE5BBDsknt4r3cUya6s06T/e+p =uHKR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --SLDf9lqlvOQaIe6s--
