I think this might not be true, depending on what "a Bourne shell" means to some users. On many systems, /bin/sh is a symlink to whichever shell floats the vendor's goat. For example, on the Mint distribution of GNU/Linux, it's a symlink to dash. While dash is a variant of a variant of the Bourne shell, can we say with reasonable certainty that those variations don't impact shell-quote-argument? (I don't know what they are myself, just posing the question.) Jeff
