if you call the function with a command like "rar one two three", inside
the function $@ is replaced with "one two three". The ";" sign is a bash
command separator, like the carriage-return does. try this:
[rodolfoap] /home/rodolfoap > function talk(){ echo $@; echo goodbye; }
[rodolfoap] /home/rodolfoap > talk one two three
one two three
goodbye
[rodolfoap] /home/rodolfoap > set
...
talk ()
{
echo $@;
echo goodbye
}
