Well I echo the results of:
file1=$( awk -F: '{ print $1 }' $testfile.lst | sort | uniq )
and it's all on one line instead of in individual rows in a single column. I guess it would be possible to massage the results, but it will probably just be easier to output it to a physical file, instead. Crummy, I like to keep things clean, instead of having tmp files all over the place that need to be deleted etc. Oh well, as long as it works right?
As always thanks for the post, I appreciate everyone's interest in helping me solve problems.

The manual does not cover this very well. What do the following compares will do ?
1) comm -13 file1 file2: will it display what is in file2 not in file1?
2) comm -23 file1 file2: will it display what in 1 but not in 2 ?

times(1) User Commands times(1)
NAME
times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell
SYNOPSIS
sh
times
ksh
times
DESCRIPTION
sh
Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell.
ksh
Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell.
On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not
performed.
