Doug,

In your new sxs on sendmail the echo statements have the backtick,quote 
combination as you mentioned.

Is there any shell or programming significance to this i.e. does the 
shell parse `' combinations in a special way... I know the var=backtick 
command backtick says assign the out-put of this command to the 
variable. So is the backtick,quote combo special also?
