Unix question

[George Simon]

Double what?
I wanted: rcpt(54)=
I used the example you gave me and it worked perfectly.
I don't need to see the \
Am I missing something?

If that was your intent, it didn't do what you wanted, since the
shell sees them first. You need to double them to get one passed
