OS shell dependencies?

[Mark Elkin]

I'm new to qmtest.  And trying to work through the 
tutorial.  Everything is fine until I need to use (...) or "..." on 
the command line (section 1.6 and further of the tutorial).

I thought it might be a shell issue, but I've tried a couple of them: 
bash, tcsh, zsh.  Each shell behaves a little different, but all 
basically won't accept the command line.  I have literally 
cut-and-paste from the tutorial.  Here's some examples.  The error 
message is just before the final prompt in each example.  And I added 
a blank line between each prompt just to make reading a little easier.

tcsh:
