 Suggestion to enhance /bin/sh
-----------------------------------
I often have a need to pick up the last parameter $1, $2 .. from
the parameter list.  I have tried to catch it by referring $$#
which gives me "processnumber"#.  Then I tried ${$#} which I really
thought would work,  but got instead the message: bad variabel substitution.

What I really want is a new special variabel: $. (dollarpoint) giving
me the last parameter in the list.
