LOL. I knew immediately after I sent that not saying that "a" was unset
was a mistake. Sorry.

Now the ABS guide says that where I'm setting b it should be
substituting BB for 23. It also says that the output of 'echo "b - $b"'
should be: b = BB35
Well, it's taking whatever the value of $a is, and replacing
23 with BB. You didn't specify the value of $a before you
run that substitution; what is it?
