Description

Hello @holzschu,

Is there any possibility to have inline command evaluate or $() and `` or it's a bug?

Cause I've the normal behavior when I write a shell script.

I was trying to change PS1 variable by executing ``> PS1=$(whoami)`` and the result is command not found.

Best regards.

Research direction

No source file or test is named in issue #51. Start by reproducing `PS1=$(whoami)` and the equivalent backtick form in a-Shell, then trace where command evaluation is handled. Done means inline command substitution behaves as expected instead of reporting command not found.
