Take a look at

http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptIIfaq.htm#invoking%20Ptolemy%20II?
which gives hints.  However, I ended up needing more escaping, I'll
update the faq momentarily.

ptparamx.xml worked with

$PTII/bin/ptolemy ptparamx.xml -x '\&quot\;xxx\&quot\;'

What is happening with

$PTII/bin/ptolemy ptparamx.xml -x xxx

is that the Const actor is looking for a variable named xxx.

Maybe a StringConst would be a better choice if you want to use
string values?

I agree that the escaping is a pain.  To pass parameters more easily,
use ptolemy/actor/parameters/ParameterSet.java
