This one is slightly more interesting: it defines a macro to search for
the first instance of a program in @code{PATH}:

+Now the variable @code{LS} contains @code{/bin/ls} or similar.
The @code{call} function can be nested. Each recursive invocation gets
its own local values for @code{$(1)}, etc.@: that mask the values of

A final caution: be careful when adding whitespace to the arguments to
@code{call}. As with other functions, any whitespace contained in the
