strange

[Paul Miller]

I hope this is a dumb question...  is there an evironment
var that sets '-d' for me or something?

If I sort this through a naked ssh session, I get:

AEP     20      875.55
BBBY    11      421.05
$COMP
$DJI
HPQ     74      1288.14
KO      31      1734.22
LU      180     538.75
MCD     13      393.67
$SPX
WCOEQ   400     55.95


but if I sort it through screen I get:

$COMP
$DJI
$SPX
AEP     20      875.55
BBBY    11      421.05
HPQ     74      1288.14
KO      31      1734.22
LU      180     538.75
MCD     13      393.67
WCOEQ   400     55.95


I want the second one, the first one looks like '-d' is on
implicitly, but I can't figure out why.  "+d" doesn't seem
to work.  Though, that seems to be what I want.
