I would suspect (but i have not tested it ! ), that the elate shell`s stupid
use of {} as ""'' is causing the problem.
This is quite stupid because "" and '' have a different priority, cos in
unix scripts you can do stuff like echo "grep -r -i `[ami*,sdk*]' | 'sed
g/.SDK*/.ami*/' | count -w"
Which you could not get to work under elate (at least without a bash port).
