The 'ln -s' command

[gs_stoller at juno.com]

I tried the 'ln -s' command in bothe 4.3  &  4.7  in a situation where it should fail and it did, but it still had a return/exit code of  0 , I think it should have been nonzero.  I tried 'ln -s  a  b' where the file  b  existed (and was a directory) and I wanted to create the file named  a  also pointing to it.  The correct form was 'ln -s  b  a'.
