Concatenation Of Variables

Hi,

when I echo the values of two variables that have been set for example:

export FRUIT1=ORANGE
export FRUIT2=APPLE

echo $FRUIT1
ORANGE

echo $FRUIT2
APPLE

as expected but when I echo the following:
echo ${FRUIT1}AND{$FRUIT2}

I was expecting to get:
ORANGEANDAPPLE

but instead am getting:
APPLEEAND

So my FRUIT1 value is being partly overwritten instead. Why would this occur?

The environment I am using is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 with the Korn shell (apologies if I need to give more specifics of my environment as I am not currently at work).

Regards,
Jaxim
