I used to have a command under OS/2 called 'whereis'  and you could type in 
'whereis  *.jpg'    (for example).   I know there is also a whereis command 
in linux so I would have to name it something different.

I was trying to avoid the use of even quotation marks but it appears that 
nothing will really work.  Seems odd that there isn't a method to get the raw 
command line into the script, even if it has to contain the command name.

Oh well, will write it in rexx or perl I guess.

Thanks.
