Hello,
In a script I'm working on called "testit" it calls for echoing the
arguments entered. This issue seems to reveal itself as follows when
I execute the following.
testit a b c d e f g h i j k l m
and then I go to echo $9 and it shows "i" but when I echo $10 it
shows "a0" and $11 shows "a1" apparently in hex.
[question]
How can I set the argument limit higher in the shell environment.
The shell is GNU bash, version 2.04.0(1)-release (i386--freebsd4.2)
