| Works for me.
Thanks.
| But I still do not understand this:
|
| chunk=`echo -n $arg`
|
| thing (despite later messages).
It is trying to turn $arg that might be splitted into many strings
(because of over quoting -- despite the popular belief that quoting
should be done systematically) into a single string so that is has
only one quote at the beginning and one quote at the end.

That behaviour is controlled by options, so the simpler asssignment
which should work is brittle. You can remove the echo, but PLEASE
don't quote $arg in the assinment.
