If you remove the "-e" (see my comment earlier in the thread) you may need to
remove the "stuff" that follows, since that is supposed to be a command to the
M2 program. Can't say for sure what it does, but it might cause problems when
the line is given to a shell.
However, I don't think the "-e" is the problem.

It surely does; I suspect it has something to do with "3+3".
I tried what you mentioned in your original post, and it worked (Mac OS X,
10.6.8). Perhaps the M2 interpreter is not in your default path. I know you
can run it from the command line, but you don't say how you do that.
Try this (assuming you don't have it set up similarly): make a symbolic link
from your M2 interpreter to /usr/bin (you may have to do this as root, e.g.,
with "sudo"):
$ ln -s /path/to/M2 /usr/bin/M2
and then try again. I don't think you have to restart your browser, but if it
doesn't work, do that and try again.
