substr

Tue Apr 23 11:08:00 GMT 2002

Dear Elegant,
Please be specific about what program implements the "expr substr" command. 
The phrase "the command line" is not singly defined on any Unix (or 
Unix-like) system extant today.
In this case, it's TCSH, which is not the default Cygwin shell (BASH is).
