  3. Could someone familiar with 1003.2a (the UPE - User Portability Extension)
  4. answer the following question for me?
  5.  
  6. What does
  7.  
  8.     echo a # b c
  9.  
  10. produce if typed at an interactive shell?  There is one sh-style shell out
  11. in the wide world that will echo 'a # b c' instead of just 'a' and I'd like
  12. to know if this behavior is POSIX-compiliant.
  13.  
  14. Thanks,
