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.
