Yeh. i know, i thought it was weird myself... I tested it out a few more times last night, and im not quite sure if it is that prog=$"VNC server" line of code that is doing what i mentioned in the above posts. As you said yourself, its just a string.
the script itself can be found on any linux redhat machine (could be other as well. im not sure) its called "vncserver".
here is a link to the code in html

a good way to see what im talking about, as far as the shell variables, and all that code printing out under them is concernd, is to stick the "set" command at the end of the script. im pretty sure that it will spit it all out there.
i would post a dump of the shell variables i get up from it, but its much to large to stick here in the post, unless i put it in a text file.
n e way... cheers
