Re: RFC 226 (v1) Selective interpolation in single quotish context.

I have misgivings.  I like single-quote context *because* you don't
have to worry about anything magical (except ' and \).

Personally, I'd solve this with sprintf():

    print F sprintf <<'END', $filename;
    $!
    $! execute a.com, copy and purge
    $!
    $ @sys$login:a.com 
    $ copy %s sys$login:*.* 
    $ purge sys$login:$filename 
    $! 
    $ exit 

but its not very idiomatic and YMMV.
