The message you saw was probably "bad _syntax_ error"...
What shell are you using? What was the *EXACT* command you run and the
error message you got.
PS: Please do *NOT* top post and quote the entire original message just
to add a single line. Trim the message you quote, keeping the relevant
parts, and post your comments _below_ the quoted text. I've fixed the
message this time, but I tend to hit DEL pretty fast msot of the time.
