Smarterm VT emulation to VMS button editor

[LeeMcCauslin]

I think this might be a VMS problem but I am not sure. It might be a smarterm problem. In smarterm I can edit buttons to send commonly used commands to my VMS session. Supposedly, I can simply enter the string I want to send to VMS and smarterm sends it BUT:
somewhere, something is stripping out my brackets:

I want to send:

edt sys$common:[sysmgr]spooler.dat
to edit my print spooler file.
what I get is:
edt sys$common:spooler.dat

IT loses everything inside the [] brackets. I can put "["sysmgr"]" but I get everything including the "" quote marks. if I put "[sysmgr]" I get just the quote marks without the brackets or sysmgr.

Is there a control code I can slip into the command to get the [sysmgr] part and not the code?
