System: NetBSD rainier.reedmedia.net 1.5.3_ALPHA NetBSD 1.5.3_ALPHA (JCR-1.5-20020213) #9: Wed Mar 6 23:53:13 PST 2002 reed@rainier.reedmedia.net:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/JCR-1.5-20020213 i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
The grouping example
 
 { echo -n " hello " ; echo " world" } > greeting

doesn't seem to work from prompt or in sh script.
   
The shell doesn't see the closing brace.
   
Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "}")
   
This issue is with 1.4.2 and 1.5.3_ALPHA.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
I assume shell is broken and man page is correct.
