i just tried to rewrite existed faq (about Byron Rakitzis's 
rc) to fit only Plan 9 shell, so a few differences between 
this shells i missed (including returns). on days i will 
fix (or remove) the examples with returns and a few other 
bugs that were found by rog. 

thank you guys (andrey and rog) for your responses.

p.s. now i don`t have working plan 9 system so checking all 
the examples is a problem task
