I would write

#!/bin/rc
TESTS=full.test
ifs='
'		# newline only
for(TESTLINE in `{cat $TESTS}){
	...
}

but what do I know?

#!/bin/sh
TESTS=full.test

cat $TESTS |
while(TESTLINE=`{read}) {
	...
}

that clip look suspiciously like an hbench
maindriver script.  

is there a reason to rewrite it rather than
just run it under ape/psh?

 In Plan 9, how can I use the command:

    cat $TESTS | while read TESTLINE
    do
        ...
     done


    In Plan 9:

       TESTS = full.test

        cat $TESTS | while (read TESTLINE){

         }

term% rc program_rc
TESTLINE: file does not exist
