   It appears that the "for" construct in which no "in {list}" is
   given does not appear to work.  (For those of you unfamiliar
   with this construct, it imples "in {list of arguments}".)

Well, this is not exactly true.

	for i; do echo $i; done

works correctly.  Only in the "{}" style of the command does this not
work.

	   for i
	   {
		   echo "$i"
	   }
	   syntax error near `}'

   As a side question, Brian, are you collecting shell scripts to be
   used as a regression/porting test suite with bash, like those which
   come with gawk and perl?

Oh yes!  Good idea.  Go ahead and submit such scripts to:

	bash-scripts@aurel.cns.caltech.edu

If you mail them directly to me, I may accidentally delete them, which
would be a shame.
