I get 123. Should be correct, but...

I get that error if I try without quotes. Should be correct, but...
... when I ask
rebol --do "print 123 * 5"
I get 123 instead of 615. Oddly enough, when I do as the User's Guide says and ask
rebol --do "print 1 + 2"
I get 3, which is correct.
I use REBOL/Core 2.3.0.1.1 and REBOL/View 0.9.9.1.1

OOOOO-K! I got it, I was practically sleeping, back then... "*" is an escaping
character in Amiga's shell, something you use to insert quotes in a quoted string,
like this: "the beam was 14*" long", so if I escape the escaper (huh?) and ask
rebol --do "print 123 ** 5"
I get 615, which is correct. If I ask
rebol --do "print 10 **** 4"
I get 10000, which is correct. Do you have similar escaping problems with your quotes,
by any chance?
