I think you mean

Yes, that's what I meant.
I don't understand why echo should be able to write a file that
an editor cannot.
Some editors like to rename the original file to "filename~" and then
write out a new file "filename". This won't work in /proc.
Paul.
I don't use *that* editor. I never have used that one. Interesting that one
can delete but not rename the file, even as owner. How is that accomplished?

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
