Naturally. Not knowing the shell he uses I gave him a pointer where to look. Probably should have said 'my shell' instead of 'the shell'.

Whatever shell he is using, there should be a mechanism to avoid interpolation, often single quotes or generous use of backward slashes. Do backward slashes work on windows? I never checked.

    That's only needed if said shell actually does have interpolation ;-)
