Okay -- but I still don't get why the message isn't displayed. Other folks can get it. Any idea why not me? My book says it should display the message and go right back to the loop.

Sorry if it's a basic question, but I'm still new to this.

dspcat

dspcat(1)						      General Commands Manual							 dspcat(1)

NAME

       dspcat - display all or part of a message catalog

SYNOPSIS

       catalog_name [set_number [message_number]]

DESCRIPTION

       The command displays a particular message, all of the messages in a set, or all of the messages in a catalog.

       If  you	include  all three command operands, displays a particular message.  If you do not include message_number, all the messages in the
       specified set are displayed.  If you specify only catalog_name, all the messages in the catalog are displayed.  If you  specify	either	an
       invalid message_number or invalid set_number, an error message is displayed.  You must include set_number if you include message_number.

   Options
       The command recognizes the following option:

	      Formats the output so that it can be used as input to the
			     command.  You cannot use the message_number operand with the option.

   Operands
       The command recognizes the following operands:

	      catalog_name   Specifies	a  file containing a message catalog.  If the file is not in the set of directories specified by the envi-
			     ronment variable, searches for it in the current directory.  (For more information about see environ(5).)

	      set_number     Specifies a set in the catalog.

	      message_number Specifies a particular number in the specified set.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

   Environment Variables
       provides a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null.	If is unset or null, it defaults to (see lang(5)).

       when set to a non-empty string value, overrides the values of all other internationalization variables.

       determines the language in which messages are displayed.

       determines the path to be used for searching the specified message catalog file.  It affects how  the  internationalization  variables  are
       used in locating the desired message catalog.

EXAMPLES

       To display message number 2 in set number 1 of test.cat, enter:

AUTHOR

       The command was developed by OSF and HP.
