What I would like to know is if it is possible to sort
a file by ONLY the first field?
No mather how I try, it always sorts by all fields. I
would think that by typing:  sort +0.0 -1.0 foo 
it should work, but it doesn't.  Someone told me that
the manual information on sort (specifically on the
+pos and -pos) is incorrect, is that true?

Our UNIX version is 4.1BSD. Thank you.
