For future command-line beginners like myself, I figured out the problem:

I needed to change the shell I was using from tcsh to bash.  Bash is now the 
default shell for OSX, but at one point it was tcsh (10.2 Jaguar or earlier).  
If you upgrade from those earlier tcsh versions, it does not automatically 
change the default shell to bash, but keeps using tcsh unless you manually 
change it.

More details and how to change the shell:
