	here is a fairly simple example of using "bang paths".

	for mail:

	        mail machine1\!machine2\!login

	for files:

		uucp machine1\!machine2\!/path/file


	the backslashes prevent the ! from being expanded. another way
	to accomplish this is to enclose the entire expression in single
	quote marks 'machine1\!machine2\!/path/file'.
