Good idea! Thanks for the improvement! Much appreciated. Will do!

I'm currently busy writing a more complicated version of the bookmarks 
batch file that creates the Vine & Amazon links, which is far more 
difficult because I have to convert the spaces in Windows to plus signs (+) 
for Amazon search links, and to %20 characters for Vine search links.

<A HREF=https://amazon.com/s?k=gas+camp+stove>[amazon] gas camp stove</A><P> 
<A HREF=https://amazon.com/vine/vine-items?search=gas%20camp%20stove>[vine] gas camp stove</A><P> 

Here's a snippet of how difficult it was to do in Windows, where we'd just 
use sed/awk/grep on Linux to convert the spaces to those characters.

   :input_item
   echo.Enter search item: ; for example, gas camp stove
   set /p "item="

   :replace_spaces_with_+
   set "amazon_item=%item: =+%" 

   :replace_spaces_with_%20
   set "vine_item="
   for %%a in (%item%) do (
     if "%%a"=="" (
       set "vine_item=!vine_item!%%20"
     ) else (
       if defined vine_item (
         set "vine_item=!vine_item!%%20" 
       )
       set "vine_item=!vine_item!%%a"
     )
   )

   echo Original item: %item%
   echo    Amazon item: %amazon_item%
   set vine_item=!vine_item!
   echo    Vine item: %vine_item%
   echo.Adding... "%amazon_item%" and "!vine_item!" to %vinefile

It's not lost on me (nor on you, I'm sure) how miserable this task is on Windows.
