after hours of not noticing one of my variables was a list and not a
string (it's 5am I've been on this since 10pm!) I eventually got to
this sorry state.

in good ol' plan9

cpu% t=(1 2 3 6 7)
cpu% echo $#t
5
cpu% echo $"t
1 2 3 6 7

in /usr/local/bin/rc (ver 1.6) on FreeBSD (ver 4.2-RELEASE)

; t=(1 2 3 6 7)
; echo $#t
5
; echo $"t
syntax error


just fyi
