Error from bash I've never seen before.

[Ray Parrish]

Hello,

I was just trying to run a short script that allows me to Tweet on 
Twitter from the command line, and got a strange error I don't know how 
to diagnose. Here is the error message -

ray at RaysComputer:~$ Tweet.sh "OPB Radio rocks the state of Oregon!"
bash: !": event not found
ray at RaysComputer:~$

I don't think it's a script error, as I have been using it with no 
problems, and the error message seems to be complaining about the 
exclamation mark at the end of my command line for some reason that I 
have no clue about.

Just in case it's the script causing the error, here is it's code as well -

#!/bin/bash
curl -u "username":"password" -d status="$*" 
http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml > /dev/null
echo "Tweet, tweet!!!"

Note that I have replaced my username, and password in the script with 
those words so as not to endanger my Twitter account with this posting. 8-)

Thanks for any help you can be.

Later, Ray Parrish
