Re: include-ing results in variable?

Thanks for your help, I've got it working now (I think!). You're right, I had an echo at the bottom of the included script and I think was loathe to mess with it since I spent about 12 hours getting that one to work! I had read the man page for include -- even the example with the return! -- about a hundred times today, but it just didn't make sense in my head even though I suspected it was related to my problem. This is my first foray into any kind of programming since I played with Turbo Pascal about 10 years ago, so I'm fumbling around a bit :) thanks again, nathaniel > > What's in "banner.inc"?
