I am looking at the discussion of the 'set' command on pages 197-200 of
the Korn Shell Manual and I am unsure as to whether or not setting an
array is going to clobber my positional parameters.
As far as I can tell, the following should leave $1, $2, ... untouched:
set -A myarray elt0 elt1 elt2
My version of ksh is 11/16/88. What I would like to know is:
1) Is the above set command "supposed" to change the positional parameters?
2) If the answer to #1 is NO, Will the above set command change my positional
parameters anyway (would it be a bug if it did)?
3) If the above would be a bug, in what version of ksh (if any) is this fixed?
