Gil is correct. Sometimes you need to quote. Read the *full* description of 
ADDRESS.

Um. When would it be quoted? You *can* but you never need to:

address banana /* Always sets the environment to BANANA */

address 'banana' /* Also sets the environment to BANANA */

fruit='KIWI'

address value fruit /* Sets the environment to KIWI */



Common confusion.
