Not specifically a BBEdit question, but I know that there are people on the list here that can clarify this for me; please excuse the post if it's not acceptable.

Running a tcsh shell, I'm trying to set up an alias that will send an orderly Quit command to the application that is the argument of the command.

I want it to work like this:

quit "Microsoft Word"

I've tried this:

alias quit 'osascript -e '\''tell application "System Events" to quit application "\!*"'\'

…and this:

alias quit 'osascript -e '\''tell application "System Events" to quit application process "\!*"'\'

But I get the error: syntax error: A identifier can’t go after this “"”. (-2740)

Can someone please clarify. Thank you.
