.SH SYNOPSIS

\fBappend \fIvarName value \fR?\fIvalue value ...\fR?

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Append all of the \fIvalue\fR arguments to the current value
|
||
|
of variable \fIvarName\fR. If \fIvarName\fR doesn't exist,
|
||
|
it is given a value equal to the concatenation of all the
|
||
|
\fIvalue\fR arguments.
|
||
|
This command provides an efficient way to build up long
|
||
|
variables incrementally.
|
||
|
For example, ``\fBappend a $b\fR'' is much more efficient than
|
||
|
``\fBset a $a$b\fR'' if \fB$a\fR is long.
