I've haven't received part two either, but this version contains
patches that Jim Paradis posted several weeks ago.

He tries to implement "<<" redirection with temp files
but does it incorrectly. Consider the following shell script.
$ for x in a b; do
> cat <<.
x=$x
.
> done

The shell has to create a temp file with 'x=$x' during parsing,
then read the first temp file and do dollar expansion into a second
temp file before "cat" is executed.
Jim's fixes try to do this with one pass, which is impossible
so his version doesn't work for the above example.

I reported this bug to ast about a week ago, but I don't think
he received my mail.  I do have a correct fix for << redirection
that uses temp files.
