Hello all!

This is the sixth installation of my weekly blog covering what I have

Feel free to comment!

This like looked unusual:

    var1=${var1:=$var2}

What's inside ${...} is sufficient to assing to var1 when it is not
uset or set to an empty string.  It is far more common to say

    : ${var1:=$var2}

with or without the colon in front of the equal sign (which tells
the construct to treat "set to empty" the same way as "unset").
