I've been using zwrite to create simple message popups in AIX, and it handles @ symbols weirdly, even when they're strong quoted. I'm running these commands in ksh.As an example,echo '1 @ 2 @@ 3 @@@ 4 @@@@ 5 @@@@@ 6 @@@@@@'produces the expected output, butzwrite myuserid -m '1 @ 2 @@ 3 @@@ 4 @@@@ 5 @@@@@ 6 @@@@@@'produces a window with1 @ 2 @ 3 @@ 4 @@ 5 @@@ 6 @@@The result is the same using double quotes instead of single quotes.Does anyone know if there's a way to correctly escape these signs, and why zwrite does this?Edit: I did try using \@, and it gets printed differently depending on how you quote it and how many you put in sequence.zwrite <myuserid> -m \@ yields @zwrite <myuserid> -m \@ yields \@zwrite <myuserid> -m '\@' yields \@zwrite <myuserid> -m \@\@ yields @zwrite <myuserid> -m \@\@ yields \@\@zwrite <myuserid> -m '\@\@' yields \@\@
