 While we're on the subject of shell 2.08, how about fixing a bug ( think)
in 2.07:

	I have a set f4 "dir -s !*.info^M" in my shell startup file which works
just dandy.

	But I also had an alias lf "dir -s !*.info^M", which didn't work.
That is to say that the .info files showed up anyway! Now it took me a
while to notice that the "^M" at the end of the alias was supefluous, and
that it was the culrit!

	Now can't the parser ignore this extra carriage return at the end of
the alias? 

	I know it's a small gripe, but it took me quite a long time to
figure out what was going on... So maybe it can get fixed?
