Hi there!

It worked just fine for me -- I'm using b18 no updated sources,patches,
etc.

The following two lines of code work on the command line but not if executed from a shell script.

vzell:/usr/bin> myls=`ls -lt`
vzell:/usr/bin> echo $myls

total 156
-rw-r--r--   1 vzell    admin         177 Nov 15 19:13 t
-rw-r--r--   1 vzell    admin        1763 Nov 15 19:08 whatis
-rw-r--r--   1 vzell    admin        1695 Nov 15 19:06 apropos
-rwxr--r--   1 vzell    admin       38923 Oct 11 18:19 txt2html*

#!/bin/sh
myls=`ls -lt`

echo $myls

In this case I get an empty line.

Any hints ?
