KSH script arguments

[Rob McMahon]

In article <1990Aug18.141141.24890 at warwick.ac.uk>, I said:
| I know ksh has `set -A array', but does it have an equivalent of "$@" for
| arrays other than the positional paramters ?  We don't have ksh, and can't
| afford to get it, but when bash gets a bit more solid I will switch to it if
| it has an equivalent of csh's $array:q.

In article <842 at travis.csd.harris.com> brad at SSD.CSD.HARRIS.COM (Brad Appleton) writes:
|set -A argv "$@"    ## dump positional parameters into an array

|from here on in you can use ${argv[i]} instead of $i and 
|${argv[*]} (${argv[@]}) in place of $* ($@).

Aha!  Does this mean that ksh *does* have a way of doing csh's $array:q,
"${array[@]}" ?  The only response I had before was that it didn't.  Sadly
I've just discovered that the current version of bash doesn't even have `set
-A' (yet ?).  Sounds like time for a posting to gnu.bash.bug.

Enquiring minds ... oh forget it.
