Unrelated to your question (Andreas already answered - your input isn't
sorted), but why not use seq, for fewer processes and less typing?

seq --format '%g A' 84 150 > testA

[Hmm.  'seq 10 --help' dies with:
seq: invalid floating point argument: --help
Try `seq --help' for more information.

We should probably try to fix seq to use getopt, while being sensitive to
the recent changes in expr, so that options can appear out of order like
most GNU tools, while negative numbers are still recognized as such rather
than options]
