The # is the 'she', the ! is the 'bang'. I believe it's "shabang", with the "#" being the musical notation for "sharp". Some other names for it are "hash" and Americans sometime call it a "pound sign" (yes, I'm an American). The "!" being called "bang" is sort of self-evident to anyone who's read any comics or watched the campy 1960s "Batman" series. Does anyone remember "bang-path" mail routing? :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - To iterate is human, to recurse, divine. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
