Hi,Petr, adding to cc: list, found behaviour not documented, neither in man page nor bash ref manual: ${par-word} will do expansion of par, and if the par is unset it is substituted by word. It is different from ${par:-word}, where word is used when par is unset or null.
Is it undocumented and deprecated, like $[]? Or just undocumented? RR
