   H:\>busybox [ "a" = "a" ] ; echo $?   
   [: missing ]   
      
   Even in a shell, doesn't work:   
      
   H:\>busybox sh   
   H:/ $ H:\>[ "a" = "a" ] ; echo $?   
   sh: H:>[: not found   
   127   
   H:/ $   
      
      
   ..but the bash chell seemed to cooperate:   
      
   H:\>busybox bash   
   H:/ $ [ "a" = "a" ] ; echo $?   
   0   
   H:/ $   
      
   H:/ $ [ "a" = "b" ] ; echo $?   
   1   
   H:/ $   
      
   Thx.   
      
   How does the double [, or [[ work?
