   Arg! -n is missing, so since there is a `p', it's printed twice.

Sorry about that.  I never had a broken machine to test the sed
replacement on.  :-)

   Paul, what do you prefer?  I chose not to add `-n' but to remove the
   `p', if you think there is a difference and you prefer the other
   solution, I'll adjust the code.

I assume you removed all the "p"s, and not just the last one.  If so,
I think your change is OK.  The only difference in behavior is if
"foo" contains a newline, and the sed replacement mishandles newlines
anyway, so that's not a real problem.
