I'd actually thought of using expout, but was hoping for a more compact solution. I think I've exhausted all the ways I've ever heard of escaping/emasculating a bang in a command line. Was sort of hoping to find some shell guru out there. The thing is, though, it's one of those situations where the expansion functionality in autotest is just a little less functional than the shell itself. Thanks!
