   Sorry, I haven't had time yet. It may even be preferable if you're
using Minix to leave this feature out anyway since it may take up too
much memory if compiled in. Warren and I figured that most people are
still going to use Bourne shell for writing real scripts, but it would
be handy for aliases and in the .clamrc and .login. Note that you've
got some control with && and || but I'm not sure these behave as sh and
csh. I just threw them in one day when I was bored.
