i think rc is interpreting $ as a here document
variable and messing up.

this is one of the reasons i really don't like here
documents.  (i don't think they should be in the
shell at all.)  how about this:

echo '$-/FERMI/+-' | sam -d outit>[2]/dev/null

if you really want to use a here document, i believe
the wierdo escape is '$$'.  as in

; sam -d outit <<EOF
$$-/FERMI/+-=
EOF
