I noticed the new version 2.3 of MS Shell by Ian Stewartson supports a  
Windows NT version.  However there are a few bugs in it, and perhaps
someone has run into these same bugs on DOS or OS/2 and has fixed them.
The one I'm currently trying to track down is this:

cat > config.sta <<EOF
`hostname`
EOF


The back quote is supposed to cause the output of the command contained
therein to be substituted in place of the command.  This works fine,
however it causes the output to go stdout and doesn't get redirectedinto
the file.  In fact anything else that might appear on separate lines
between cat and EOF also doesn't end up in the file.  If there are no
back quoted commands then everything works like it's supposed too.

Any seen this and fixed it?
