OK, three things got me:
1. I misread two consecutive single quotes as a double quote (they look pretty similar in proportionally-spaced fonts!)
2. I was unaware that singly-quoted strings are treated as absolute literals (with no backslash processing) by the shell
3. I didn't know you could concatenate strings simply by writing them adjacent to each other.
It all makes sense now…I think.
Thanks to all.
