That will work because it is in the same shell, the subshell does not pass back the variable assignments. When you "cat file | " you are opening a subshell. =20

Lesson to be learned here, if you are porting to Linux be very carefull if you have a lot of shell scripts! I think the same problem is in bash since the link I sent in the last email related to bash.
