[Gary Allen Vollink]

I would like to note that I'm too new here to know if this sort of thing 
is considered off-topic on this particular list or not.  I suspect it 
is.  So, it's probably worth mentioning that there are several forums 
that cater to scripting and programming.  LinuxQuestions.org is a good 
place to start...

It appears that you retyped your sample code snippet/error message by 
hand because they don't exactly match.  Hard to diagnose without an 
exact cut and paste.

There is nothing directly wrong with your echo statement.  However - the 
fact that it's blowing up makes me wonder if there is not a quote 
mis-balance prior to that line?

Good luck,
