bash-1.03 on a sun4 - sunos4

	I've run into two problems with using ! in non-history mode.
The first is that history expansion takes place even when ! is in quotes,
either single or double.  The second occurs when I have a filename containing
!.  If I escape the !, ~ expansion no longer occurs.

$ ls xx
xx not found
$ echo "!ls"
ls": Event not found.
$ ls ~/lisp/pp.el
/users/cs/staff/jeff1/lisp/pp.el
$ echo ~/lisp/!myinit.el
myinit.el: Event not found.
$ echo ~/lisp/\!myinit.el
~/lisp/!myinit.el
