The problem is unexpected behavior. Now that could well be because I expected the wrong thing. I haven't used 'set' in a very long time, but the last time I remember using it, all I saw was variables and their values.
Many of those things are defined in /etc/profile.d/complete.bash, which is loaded from /etc/bash.bashrc. Why? I don't know.
Thanks Carlos, I have found where they are comming from. I installed bash completion. The /etc/bash/bashrc reads /etc/bash_completion which contains a lot of functions which are defined if you have a particular program installed. I guess I have not installed this until SuSE 9.1, so I never saw that kind of output from the set command. All I wanted to do was see the value of a certain variable and the current output was unexpected and it was not as easy to find what I wanted. Doug
