i suspect i'm not the only lynx-dever who would be interested
to learn more about  /dev/fd  &  /proc/self/fd :
the former exists on this system (IRIX 5.3) as a directory,
but the latter doesn't: there's only  /proc  (a directory);
 /dev  &  /proc  both contain large numbers of wierd-looking entries;
my detailed notes on Kernighan & Pike say nothing.
would you be willing to give (most of) us a brief lesson?
