Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. Actually though Somebody sent me an
test script off list that does a good job of demonstrating how a bash script
can check for all three conditions, AND points at the wealth of info
that can be extracted with env. I wanted to offer a big Thank you but I
seam to have lost the e-mail... Sigh!

I know I had it, as I copied the script from it. And I don't remember
deleting that E-mail message but I can't find it.

So to you who sent me a script something like this. (you know who you
are...) THANKS!

>> fi
>> echo '___________' >> ~/wai
>> env >> ~/wai
