hi,
I've not been able to post for a while (verifying sender didn't like
me), so I've got a few things stored up
I think it was eric that said the only place here docs are used in plan9
default is in /sys/lib/newuser and there whoever wrote it went through
some shenanigans to get $ in the output (though this is snipped):
x='$'
cat > lib/profile <<!
bind -a $x^home/bin/rc /bin
!
However, what that person seems not to know is that they could have done $$ to
escape the $ :
cat > lib/profile <<!
bind -a $$home/bin/rc /bin
!
I like here documents, I think they look better than multi-line echoes though
it is annoying they can't be used in fn definitions.
Matt
