on the command line you will need single quotes since -e option is 
expecting a string (I think). But in the configuration of TW, the 
parsing of options to the command may be slightly different (through a 
different shell). Thus what you need to write on the commandline to make 
the option work, may not be the same thing you need to specify in the TW 
configuration.
