hi mbb.... thanks for the info.. I hope that is what they want me to do.... 
I can't place escape characters or quotes to those special characters when I use them as part of my arguments. I have to find a way to display a message that will indicate that a special character is included in my arguments...
Do you or does anyone know how to do this? Or is there really a way that my script may treat them as an ordinary part of my string arguments? The only hint I got from them (those who are asking me to do this exercise) is that I have to trap the special character before the shell performs the character's function.(
This is too tough for me... hope I can hear some feedback.. thanks so much in advance.....

LINUX-VERSION(1) General Commands Manual LINUX-VERSION(1) NAME
linux-version - operate on Linux kernel version strings SYNOPSIS
linux-version compare VERSION1 OP VERSION2 linux-version sort [--reverse] [VERSION1 VERSION2 ...] linux-version list [--paths] DESCRIPTION
linux-version operates on Linux kernel version strings as reported by uname -r and used in file and directory names. These version strings do not follow the same rules as Debian package version strings and should not be compared as such or as arbitrary strings. compare VERSION1 OP VERSION2 Compare version strings, where OP is a binary operator. linux-version returns success (zero result) if the specified condition is satisfied, and failure (nonzero result) otherwise. The valid operators are: lt le eq ne ge gt sort [--reverse] [VERSION1 VERSION2 ...] Sort the given version strings and print them in order from lowest to highest. If the --reverse option is used, print them in order from highest to lowest. If no version strings are given as arguments, the version strings will instead be read from standard input, one per line. They may be suffixed by arbitrary text after a space, which will be included in the output. This means that, for example: linux-version list --paths | linux-version sort --reverse will list the installed versions and corresponding paths in order from highest to lowest version. list [--paths] List kernel versions installed in the customary location. If the --paths option, show the corresponding path for each version. AUTHOR
