That would usually work. I found this:
Have you got a bash binary on your system? If you do, you can use it instead of sh and the error will (I think) go away. I suppose it is related with the long discussion we had recently in another thread about the syntax colouring of shell scripts (and in particular, sh vs. bash vs. ksh vs. POSIX). (When invoked with the name sh, bash will behave "almost" the way sh used to. The clinch is tn the "almost".)
