.SH SYNOPSIS

fill in the appropriate fields and exit the editor.

file \fIdead.gawkbug\fP in the invoking user's home directory.
.PP
The bug report format outline consists of several sections.  The first
section provides information about the machine, operating system, the
.B gawk
version, and the compilation environment.  The second section
should be filled in with a description of the bug.  The third section
should be a description of how to reproduce the bug.  The optional
fourth section is for a proposed fix.  Fixes are encouraged.
