Entering an exclamation mark(!) in twill-sh throws an exception. 
Other punctuation characters cause similar exception.
Using twill 0.8.5.

Thanks! Mike
p.s.  It's still a great tool despite this one small bug.
May be useful to print the twill version in the welcome banner? so if someone
copies and pastes twill-sh  output when filing a bug  they don't have to go
searching for the twill package version.

$ twill-sh 

 -= Welcome to twill! =-
