No, because first you have to save $_ in an ordinary variable:
* $ $VAR^-2 _ ?? ^^.|.^^
won't work.
Moreover, even with
RCFILE = $_
and then
* $ $VAR^-2 RCFILE ?? ^^.|.^^
some wag could set up an rcfile whose name begins or ends with a hard
newline. (Does $_ always include the full path? I believe that inside
an rcfile called with SWITCHRC or INCLUDERC, it has whatever name was
given in the calling assignment.)
Any ideas on the conversion of EST/GMT/whatever from
a library available to the shell?
None from me.
