I don't know about clones, but I am typing this on an SGI box where sh

Thank you very much Mirek.
Yes, I wanted to express, that the use of documentation is limited
if there are no examples in it. In the case of `let` it was only
my personal problem (which I would be able to solve by searching
for my own old example at home ... or by asking you over the list :) ).
