I tested a modified copy on the POSIX version that did not not embed the here document but assigned the variable more like the other examples did, and the update works on a very old Bourne shell from SCO OpenServer 5.0.7. I don't see any reason for the \HEREDOC, but maybe there is more to this that I do not understand. | |
