It seems that the front end and the standalone kernel parse >> in different ways. In the front end: In[1]:= Hold[a >> b <> c] // FullForm Out[1]//FullForm= Hold[Put[a, StringJoin[b, c]]] In[2]:= Hold[a >> (b <> c)] // FullForm Out[2]//FullForm= Hold[Put[a, StringJoin[b, c]]] In mathkernel: In[1]:= Hold[a >> b <> c] // FullForm Out[1]//FullForm= Hold[StringJoin[Put[a, "b"], c]] In[2]:= Hold[a >> (b <> c)] // FullForm Syntax::sntxf: "Hold[a >> " cannot be followed by "(b <> c)] // FullForm".
