Thanks Bryan! We really meant to have something in the intro to the book that discussed the subtle (and not subtle) differences in command-line syntax, etc. But we didn't... I *wimped out* and just said, "Here's the way it works in one shell... you'll need to adjust it for the syntax of your own shell..."
And we didn't do the best job at explaining why we're doing it. We'll try to improve that in the next version, or maybe put something on our website.
Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to post this so that others won't have to struggle.
cheers,
Kathy
