again a lash issue (sorry larry ;-):

/ # FOO=bar ls
-sh: FOO=bar: No such file or directory
/ #
/ # cat asdf
#!/bin/sh
FOO=bar
echo "Hello $FOO"
/ #
/ # ./asdf
-sh: FOO=bar: No such file or directory
hello
/ #

is it a bug or a missing feature? do i always have to use export when using
variables in shell scripts?

regards,
andreas neuhaus
