I'd also like to see builtin(1) make a clearer distinction between reserved words (like if, while, for, do, done, and fi) and things that are actual commands. The description in builtin(1) of the external commands (called ``regular built-in commands'' in POSIX) should probably point out that almost all of them are useless and included only for standards compliance. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
