Thank you very much. In Mathematica, square brackets [] are always used to enclose an argument to a function. It appears you tried entering the stuff between the quotes by itself. For this to be valid it *must* be preceded by a function name. That is entering f[x+y] is valid syntax but entering [x+y] is not valid.
