No, single quotes and double quotes are not equivalent in LiveCode. However, the shell ignores any escape characters or " characters inside single-quoted strings.
So, you can do: replace "'" with "\'" in tBody put merge("echo '[[tBody]]' | ") into tCmd and your tBody should be protected from shell expansion.
