>Organization:
none
>Environment:
n/a
>Description:
The sh(1) manpage doesn't describe "#" comments or contain the
word "comment" for people searching for that.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
The "pdksh" manpage slips in this phrase:
#, if used at the beginning of a word, introduces a comment --
everything after the # up to the nearest newline is ignored;
but it should also say something about it not working interactively.
