Yes, histexpand was on. Turning it off allowed the commands in the book to
run as expected. Thanks. Even though I am not exactly a naif at things
Linux, I didn't know about this. And I have never before encountered this
particular situation. Anyway, a few minutes with the appropriate section
of the bash man page revealed all to me. And according to that reference,
histexpand is enabled by default for interactive shells. Okay fine. Onward
to the next mystery.
