Thanks for the info, however I'm not writing CGI or a server process- I 
just wanted to use transcript write some shell scripts for slinging 
text around and doing some database queries.

Seems like a pain so far. Maybe I had better stick to Perl for my shell 
scripting.

That's surprising. Seems like it could be very useful in a shell 
scripting environment.
