Description: I was connected to {ERIS}<LISPCORE>NEXT> and I said'
FB({DSK}*.CM)'
'
I got a browser window with the message'
  "No files in group {ERIS}<LISPCORE>NEXT>({DSK>*.CM);*'
'
Note parens and final >.'
'
If I moved the parens in my call to EVAL format'
(FB {DSK}*.CM)'
'
I get the same result.'
'
However, if I type in the line with no parens at all':'
'
FB {DSK}*.CM'
'
it works properly.'
'
Should behave more sensibly when parens are typed!

Workaround: '
