Thanks to all, the referencing part is very clear to me now. What about other uses, though? I notice the sort command sometimes puts braces around operations on $a and $b. What do the braces do there? Does the sort command expect braces, or do they symbolize something more universal? (I love the little [ @array ] trick, do braces do something similar?)
