Ray and Tony,  that did the trick!!  Thanks so much for your help.   I am
really grateful.

One of the key things I didn't understand was the proper way to format the
request.   I did try trepresenting the json request more directly, using
something of the form "{searchQueryString:....}" but not with the proper
inside quoting.   I think I now begin to understand the principle of how to
encode a json object in text for wget.  (This was a big piece that was
missing for me.   Is it described fully anywhere?).

Also, your quoting works fine on my machine (OSX 10.5.8), bash shell.


Thanks again ,
Dan
