Not sure how I've managed to edit those config files all these years without coming across this before!

I didn't know that either... but I always follow my "when in doubt" rule of separate lines and # in first column. I've had shells do weird things with # in the middle of lines too, though I couldn't tell you which or when!
At least I'm positive perl & php let you put # in the middle of lines :-) and that's all that really matters to me ;-) I still have no idea what's up with that python """ ... I thought python was supposed to be less cryptic than perl? <grin>
