Good answer. You may want to mention a couple alternatives to the direct assignment like ((count++)) or simply setting the integer flag on count (e.g. declare -i count=0). Still, it's worth a vote. (also, just a nit, when copying man pages, check for hyphenations (e.g. vari‐ able) to make it read better -- I know they are a pain....)

Good suggestions all; I've included both alternatives, fixed hyphenation, and added some more bash(1) excerpts.
