Please don't understand me wrong. I *found* the text where
the description of let is documented. But what do I have to
type if I want to increase a shell variable? The syntax of
"arithmetic expression" remains unclear and an example, how
to do
a = $b + $c * $d
and
a = ($b + $c) * $d
(because this demonstrates also braces in expresions which might
be misinterpreted by the shell) would be really helpful.
Kind regards
Andreas.
