I suggest the fileutils/textutils/shellutils packages which you can
find in <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish>.

GNU 'hello' is supposed to be a canonical example of this sort of
thing, but it hasn't been released in some time.  I'll CC: this
message to its maintainer to see what's up.

While we're on the subject, GNU hello should have a new option:

  @item -u
  Has no effect and does not start Word.

This is for compatibility with Microsoft Word, which has the identical
option.
