+.sh NAME
+shift \*- adjust Shell arguments
+.sh SYNOPSIS
+.bd shift
+.sh DESCRIPTION
+.it Shift
+is used in Shell command files to shift the
+argument list left by 1,
+so that old

+can now be referred to by
+.bd $1
+and so forth.
+.it Shift
+is useful to iterate over several arguments
+to a command file.
+For example, the command file
+.s3
+.lp +5 0
+: loop
+.br
+if $1x = x exit
+.br
+pr \*-3 $1
+.br
+shift
+.br
+goto loop
+.s3
+.i0
+prints each of its arguments in 3-column format.
+.s3
+.it Shift
+is executed within the Shell.
