2.8BSD Bourne shell: no comments?

[Lee Atchison]

Some versions of the Bourne shell don't allow the '#' character as a comment.
The version included with 2.8 and 2.9 don't.  There have been fixes posted
to net.bugs.2bsd about this, but I don't know what the fix is off hand.
However, you can use the ':' character as a comment in these versions of the
Bourne shell.
