It is a command in vi, the most common unix text editor and also some other unix tools. Thus s/39.7/37.9/ means, translated from unix-users-slang to plain English: "Oops, that is wrong, please replace each occurence of 39.7 in the text above with 37.9". (Actually, it doesn't mean that *exactly*, but it would go too far to discuss the subtleties of regular expressions and vi commands in this context). hp -- _ | Peter J.
