Hmm, maybe it wasn't as obvious as I thought ;-)
The changes take place inside a here document. If you meant for
the command substitution to take place at micro-suite run time only,
then alternatively, the here-document (or the backticks) could be
quote-escaped. I don't care, whatever you prefer. I just used
what matched atconfig: expand `pwd` at atconfig creation time.
I don't care much that it may fail if `pwd` contains a single quote.
Cheers,
Ralf
