I can fix this.  Which approach do you like?  Alternatives that come
to mind, in order of decreasing attractiveness:

1) Replicate the function code in the merely two places it's called.

2) Make the function a separate script.

3) Assign the body of the function to a variable and play hackish "eval" games.

What brain-dead shell doesn't support functions, anyway?
