1974.0. "UE Window Bombs ???" by WPOMM2::ZAMBOTTI () Wed Dec 27 1989 22:30

Hello people,

Enviroment :

	DS3100 Ultrix Risc

Problem :

	UE Window crashes when trying to access new entry in Files menu.  The
	message I get is :

	pid 814 (dxue) was killed on unaligned access, at pc 0x42f3a0

I wanted to know what was sent to a script when it was envoked from one of the
UE menus.  So I added an entry to The Files menu like this :

	New Menu Item : Test
	Associated Command or Script : dotest

In my dotest script I have (I copied the script from dorm and trimmed it down) :

	#!/bin/sh
	# %W%   (ULTRIX) %G%
	CMD="/bin/rm -rf"
	ECHO=/bin/echo
	FUNCTION=Remove
	FILES=
	QUIET=0
	DOING_FILES=0

	for arg in $*
	do
	    /bin/echo \"$arg\" >&2
	done
	
	sleep 5

The line which reads "for arg in $*" I have also tried "for arg in $@" but that
didn't make any difference.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Walter Zambotti.
