I am running SCO Xenix 386 2.3.3 ... expr gives a syntax error if you try
to use the * operator.  example

expr 5 * 2

The above gives a syntax error whereas

expr 5 + 2 

gives 7 as you would expect.  The documentation says that * is the
multiplication operator... Can anybody else verify this error ?

For what it is worth, the divide operator works fine.
