Hi Jim,
I tried your suggestion and this is what I get. I have echo $PATH > tmp.file in the script A so I can check if the path has been sourced. It continues to print one with /sbin in its path which I think is being logged from export then once the script A executes it prints the PATH as being /usr/bin:/bin to the default again.
/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin
/usr/bin:/bin
Thanks.
Wilson.

in which tata is visible outside the script, after sourcing this script.
It seems that you can only do
source script and not
source script arg
How can I do that ?
