"The UNIX Programming Environment" by Kernighan and Pike (copyright 1984
by Bell Labs) states the following:

	"...Quotes of one kind protect quotes of the other kind:

		$ echo "Don't do that!"
		Don't do that!
		$
	..."

When I tried that (4.2bsd with csh) it did the following:

		%echo "Don't do that!"
		": Event not found.
		%

Is this something different in the c-shell, or is this an error in
the c-shell?
