    Many thanks-

    Most people pointed out that I was using single quotes
    around my sed command which was preventing the shell
    from expanding the variables inside which was true for
    the incantation I put in the question. I ended up
    using a different solution recommended by

    arno uhlmelmahei" <arno@panix.com>

    sed -n 1,33p file >newfile
         cat datafile >>newfile
         sed -n '43,$p' file >>newfile

    I placed this into a for loop and got the result I was
    looking for.

    Many thanks to the following for their suggestions:

    Also, thanks to John Leadeham for steering me towards
    the usenet group news:comp.unix.shell for similar
    questions.
