Unfortunately you didn't use one of the standard bug report tools (e.g. reportbug), now I have to ask you what shell you're using, as at least with bash it works just fine: $ bash $ FOO=123 BAR=xyz bash $ echo $FOO 123 $ echo $BAR xyz $ Also with ash (another POSIX shell that's used a lot) no problem: $ ash $ FOO=qwe BAR=098 ash $ echo $FOO qwe $ echo $BAR 098 > It is immediately obvious that there are no ";" between the variables, > so it can't work ! All that's obvious to me is that you give too little information; without semicolons in CAN work. That's also why no one responded to your message on the mailing list, as no one has this problem. So please give more info about your system, most importantly your default shell. Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
