Hi,
  I think help-gnu-utils might be a better address then bug-* for this
question.  Or you could try news: comp.unix.shell is very helpful.

Anyway:

Actually, you may have problems with quoting; do you call grep like this:

grep '^A.*\.$'

Otherwise, the shell would interpret the backslash, so you'd have to use

grep "^A.*\\.\$"

or even

grep ^A.\*\\.\$

Hope this helps,
