The in csh, you must say "set noglob" outside of the eval `tset -s`. I had thought that the noglob generated by tset would take care of it. Apparently however, the sh passes '[' within single quotes echo `echo 'a[b'` returns a[b in csh that gets an "missing [" message unless noglob is set. On the other hand in csh echo 'a[b' with noglob unset works fine, returning a[b Does anyone understand why it would parse the 'a[b' differently when it was being passed in the first case? Are the ' being stripped of by the first parsing causing the cmd line 'echo a[b' to be executed?
