Yes, I figured out the problem. Thanks. But for clarification, what do the $ and \ mean in the example scripts?

tcsh
source your_freesurfer_dir/SetUpFreeSurfer.csh
setenv SUBJECTS_DIR $TUTORIAL_DATA/buckner_data/tutorial_subjs
cd $SUBJECTS_DIR
and then
freeview -v \
good_output/mri/T1.mgz \
good_output/mri/wm.mgz \
good_output/mri/brainmask.mgz \
good_output/mri/aseg.mgz:colormap=lut:opacity=0.2 \
-f good_output/surf/lh.white:edgecolor=blue \
good_output/surf/lh.pial:edgecolor=red \
good_output/surf/rh.white:edgecolor=blue \
good_output/surf/rh.pial:edgecolor=red
