   49   address@hidden has a short form that uses opening and closing square
   50   -brackets; for example, you can write @samp{[ -d / ]} in place of
   51   address@hidden -d /}.  The square brackets must be spaced separate
   52   -symbols; for example, @samp{[-d /]} will not do.  Since @samp{test
   53   address@hidden and @samp{[ @var{expr} ]} have the same meaning, only the
   54   -long form is discussed below.
   55   address@hidden has an alternate form that uses opening and closing
   56   +square brackets instead a leading @samp{test}.  For example, instead
   57   +of @samp{test -d /}, you can write @samp{[ -d / ]}.  The square
   58   +brackets must be separate arguments; for example, @samp{[-d /]} does
   59   +not have the desired effect.  Since @samp{test @var{expr}} and @samp{[
   60   address@hidden ]} have the same meaning, only the former form is 
discussed
