Je viens de télécharger qemacs-0.3.1 sur mon system (SunOS).
J'ai essayé

	./configure --help
	
mais mon Bourne shell (sh) n'aime pas la ligne

source_path=${0%configure}

et répond

./configure: bad substitution

et effectivement, je ne trouve pas de documentation sur
l'usage de '%' dans une substitution.

Quelle est mon problème?

***********

I've just downloaded qemacs-0.3.1 to my SunOS system.
I tried

	./configure --help
	
but my Bourne shell (sh) choked on the line

source_path=${0%configure}

and returned the message

./configure: bad substitution

I can't seem to find any documentation on the use of '%'
in a substitution.

What do I need to do?

Thanks/Merci,

Ken
