I don't know how strict you are about posing rather general questions about Linux syntax to this list (rather than asking about FC-specific conundrums, I mean). Here goes. I do not like the vagaries of sort and the dependence of output on LOCALE. Before using it I export LC_ALL=C or (easier) unset LANG but I would much rather do neither of these and instead find a switch for sort that has the same effect. Is there one? If not, is there a way that I can unset LANG once and for all by disabling or deleting something earlier in the switch-on process, dunno, by editing a config file or something? Thank you. Fergus
