Assessment

This issue has not been assessed yet.

Description

We don't need a test with 2 arguments, so remove "mary ann". Actually, the entire "john smith" test should be removed, I don't think it's adding much value. The "* " test accomplishes demonstrating both word splitting and filename expansion

But the extra tests do need some explaining in an append instruction.

Follows #612
