  13.     Given the following script:
  14. #
  15. foreach line ( `cat this_script` )
  16.   echo "$line"
  17. end
  18.  
  19.  
  20.     I would expect the output to be:
  21.  
  22. #
  23. foreach line ( `cat this_script` )
  24.   echo "$line"
  25. end
  26.  
  27.     However, I get:
  28.  
  29. #
  30. foreach
  31. line
  32. (
  33. )
  34. echo
  35. "$line"
  36. end
  37.  
  38.     Is this what's supposed to happen?  Any help appreciated.
