        !            15:      _L_a_m laminates the named files onto the standard output.  The
        !            16:      resulting output is the line-by-line concatenation of
        !            17:      corresponding lines from each file named.  If the files are
        !            18:      different lengths, empty lines are substituted for missing
        !            19:      lines in the shorter files.
        !            20: 
        !            21:      Each _s_t_r_i_n_g argument is placed in the output line at the
        !            22:      point that it appears in the argument list.  For example,
        !            23:      lines from _f_i_l_e_1 and _f_i_l_e_2 can be laminated with a colon
        !            24:      between each line from _f_i_l_e_1 and the corresponding line from
        !            25:      _f_i_l_e_2 by the command

        !            31:      ment list.  If `-', is given for a filename the standard
        !            32:      input is read at that point.  If a file is named more than
        !            33:      once, each of its lines will be duplicated on the output
        !            34:      line, except that if standard input is named more than once,
        !            35:      its lines will be read alternately.  For example, each pair
        !            36:      of lines from standard input can be joined onto one line
