This has worked well in the past now I have a special case
The string I am echoing for a script input to a program has a single greater
than character in it.  the string is
Subject: from: #S494LARRY,MGR.VALPAC<MGR.VALPAC>

I use the command
echo Subject: !mail_subject          >>*mailflm

 since the string variable has a greater than the command interpreter seems
to try and input from that file and the group does not exist hence the error
(watch for the wrap on the command)
      echo Subject: from: #S494LARRY,MGR.VALPAC<MGR.VALPAC>
>>*mailflm
NONEXISTENT GROUP  (FSERR 51)

Yet if I put quotes around the string then I get quotes in the output file.

Any suggestions?
