bash syntax



Hello,

the following phrase doesn't work in bash:
((ls);(ls))
Why? Is it not allowed by the shell syntax or there is a bug in it?

It is a little important for me, because it is how the Netscape 4 spawns
an external helper:
((gv temp_file.ps);(rm temp_file.ps))

In tcsh it works, however I cannot force Netscape to spawn processes in
tcsh.

Thank you.

W. Grabysz
