Subject: possible Bug in set-command (7.1.1)
Summary: no words with less than three letters !?

I installed mush 7.1.1 and encountered a strange behaviour of the
'set'-command.

If You try to 'set' a variable to a value with less than three letters, You
catch an 'Unmatched ".'

Example:

set prompt=">"
Unmatched ".
set prompt="> "
Unmatched ".
set prompt=">  "
(now 'prompt' is set correctly)

It's the same if You use ' instead of ".

For this reason the distributed files Mushrc and Mail.rc produce lots of
'Unmatched ..' messages

I'm no .mushexpert :-), so could some of those please help me.

  Thanx and bye
