Hey guys I have here what I am sure amounts to a pretty dumb question.... how do I assign a value of say 999 to a variable called "random number" (note the space between random and number). What would the script look like using borne shell?
Thanks! 
No space allowed in variable name.
variable name => a letter followed by zero or more letters or digits (`_' counts as a letter)
Jean-Pierre.
So would max_number = 100; work?
Yes, except you mustn't have any spaces on either side of the equals sign. (Be bold -- try it :^)
Thanks Guys!
