No, this is a specific history expansion in interactive shells. Execute ''set +H'' and try again (it's disabled in non-interactive shells). Or use single quotes: echo 'goodbye cruel world!' double quotes only prevent filename expansion, but allow interpretation of other Shell meta-characters Not true. Double qutes remove special meaning of characters except `$', `\', and, when history expansion is enabled, `!'. Meta characters loses its special meaning. Note: `!' is usual history expansion character, but can be a different character. RR Bye, Jojo

Globbing is not part of readline's set of filename completions. It is implemented by the shell, hence the need for the bashdefault option. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, ITS, CWRUc...@case.eduhttp://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/
