RE: QShell GOTCHA -- MIDRANGE-L

Just remember IFS means Integrated File System as in whatever you want to call root / plus old school QDLS plus Windows QNTC plus POSIX QOpenSys. All these file systems brought together under /.

And for what it's worth QOpenSys is where you should install Groovy :-)

Well that's weird. Is QOpenSys part of the base OS, or is it an optional component?

I just discovered something about QShell:

It seems that "echo" and "ECHO" are two different commands, that behave slightly differently:

"echo" resolves standard C/Java/*nix escapes. "ECHO" does not.

FWIW:

$

which echo

/QOpenSys/usr/bin/echo
$

which ECHO

/usr/bin/ECHO

See where I get my donations from ... visit https://lsteml.diabetessucks.net/map for an interactive map (it's a geeky thing).

I may have diabetes, but diabetes doesn't have me!
