2.2.5 Shell Output String

This is assembled according to the same rules as the double quote string, except that there is no concatenation of strings and the resulting string is written to a shell server process. The definition takes on the value of the output string.

NB The text is interpreted by a server shell. There may be left over state from previous ` processing and it may leave state for subsequent processing. However, a cd to the original directory is always issued before the new command is issued.
