For the record, $SHELL does not tell you what shell you're currently in. It tells you which login shell your account uses, or which shell you'd *like* to use when you launch a new xterm (et al.) or when you shell-escape from programs that offer this feature. To see what shell you're currently in, try: ps -p $$ > As this demonstrates, I get single quotes in bash in a VT but not in X. But you DO get single-quotes in jed in X, or in dash in X?
