Hi,

I've been trying to create a shell command that refers to an environment 
variable, e.g., 

echo $PATH

Julia will interpolate $ in shell commands in backticks to Julia variables, 
i.e., `echo $PATH`, will look for a Julia variable PATH. 
What can I do if I really want to insist having a shell command that 
includes a (non-quoted) dollar-sign? Currently,
my workaround is `sh -c "echo \$PATH"`, but this is not really satisfactory.

Best,
Christian
