Or is it just the difference in encodings?
In scripts and config/convenience files like .bashrc or .bash_aliases,
it can see *through* "crunches" (#), which are supposed to make a line
of text invisible to a shell <or am I wrong on that?>
Could it be because I added a LANG variable and have been turning out
not-quite-UTF-8 stuff from my one or two text editors? The only guess I
can make with my limited knowledge is that, once UTF8 is set or enabled,
ISO-8859-1 "crunches," for all practical purposes, are meaningless to
the shell. or am I wrong on that as well?
A little help, please. This isn't making a whole lot of sense. What good
are rules for comments if, when a new text encoding or environment
variable is applied/undertaken/invoked, they become null and void?
(Might as well go back to REM: from CLI BASIC.)
