I see what you are trying to accomplish. Probably
b=$"`{cat /env/a}
will do.
And iterating a bit further, I found this doesn't work with out a
temp:
tmp=`{cat /env/a}
b=$"tmp
term% a=()
term% xd -c /env/c
0000000 a l i c e 00
0000006
term% c='' # null string
term% cp /env/c /env/a
term% xd -c /env/a
0000000 00
0000001
term% b=$`{cat /env/a}
rc: variable name not singleton!
term% b=$"`{cat /env/a}
rc: variable name not singleton!
term%
term%
term% t=`{cat /env/a}
term% xd -c /env/t
0000000
0000000
term% b=$t
term% xd -c /env/t
0000000
0000000
term% b=$"t
term% xd -c /env/t
0000000
0000000
term%
NG!
