K Shell script problem

[Brian Kenney]

OK, net.gentlepeople, how about this this one? 

In a K Shell script, I have a line like this:

export 	FOO="This is part 1." \
	FOO="${FOO}This is part 2." 
print $FOO

The only thing that is printed is "This is part 2."
Now, if I remove the 'export', so the lines are:

	FOO="This is part 1." \
	FOO="${FOO}This is part 2." 
print $FOO

Now, both parts are printed.

What gives?  Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
