- Then you must have a shell that doesn't have a built-in "test" command,
- or one that somehow figures out whether "test" should refer to the
- built-in command or not based on the setting of PATH or something.
-
- However, the Bourne shell that comes with SunOS [345].x sure as hell
- doesn't do that; it always runs the built-in command if you just say
- "test". I tried it on 4.x and 5.x machines, and I didn't change any of
- that stuff between 3.x and 4.x....
