hi mbb.... thanks for the info.. I hope that is what they want me to do.... Smilie
I can't place escape characters or quotes to those special characters when I use them as part of my arguments. I have to find a way to display a message that will indicate that a special character is included in my arguments...

Do you or does anyone know how to do this? Or is there really a way that my script may treat them as an ordinary part of my string arguments? The only hint I got from them (those who are asking me to do this exercise) is that I have to trap the special character before the shell performs the character's function. Smilie(

This is too tough for me... hope I can hear some feedback.. thanks so much in advance..... Smilie
