Hi,

I was just trying to write a bash script in which I wanted to do a quick
substitution in a variable, and it seems that bash has trouble with this.  I
typed in an example from a book which works on unix:
echo -e {PATH//:/'\n'}

And it complains of bad substitution.  I'm using b18 on NT.. is this known
and fixed in b19?  Thanks!

Jeff
