I apologize for asking what is probably a dumb question, but where can
I find a definitive listing of what features are available in each
version of Bash.
For example, I only have access to Bash-4 on my system. I need to know

regarding array handling.
I am running FreeBSD-7.2 and installed Bash via ports.
could this be a good way to achive this?
