K Shell script problem

[BURNS,JIM]

in article <1980 at hsi86.hsi.UUCP>, kenney at hsi.UUCP (Brian Kenney) says:
> export 	FOO="This is part 1." \
> 	FOO="${FOO}This is part 2." 
> print $FOO

Works if you remove the back slash, or change it to a semi-colon, so
export must buffer its setenv(3)'s, and ksh must do them one at a time.
