Subj: 	bcreate of an ascii file

Hi,

I would like to bcreate an ascii file which takes '#' as comment headers.
Its not a sh script but it could be viewed as one for ode purposes.  I
did a man on bcreate and it does not seem to give me the option to pick
the type of header to use, it appears that it tries to figure it out
on its own.  Since the file does not have a '.' extension in which
bcreate can figure this out, how can I do it?

Thanks in advance.

-- Greg

You create this kind of file with the command

bcreate -c'# ' foo
