You won't get anything authoritative from me, but I have noticed traps for the unwary, for example: $ mkdir newdir; cd newdir $ touch 'one space' 'and two spaces' $ for jim in *; do echo $jim; done and two spaces one space So far, so good, but: $ for jim in `ls`; do echo $jim; done and two spaces one space which is not what was intended.
