  If the command string contains @samp{?} surrounded by whitespace, the
  current file name is substituted for @samp{?}.  You can use @samp{?}
  this way more than once in the command, and each occurrence is
! replaced.  For instance, here is how to uuencode each file, making the
! output file name by appending @samp{.uu} to the input file name:
! 
! @example
! uuencode ? ? > ?.uu
! @end example
  @end itemize
  
  To iterate over the file names in a more complicated fashion, use an
! explicit shell loop.  For example, this shell command is another way
! to uuencode each file:
  
  @example
  for file in * ; do uuencode "$file" "$file" >"$file".uu; done
  @end example
  
- @noindent
- This simple example doesn't require a shell loop (you can do it
- with @samp{?}, but it illustrates the technique.
- 
  The working directory for the shell command is the top-level directory
  of the Dired buffer.
