The problem you're having isn't with the 'proj' program but with the
shell environment you are using.  The apostrophe and quotation mark are
characters that are interpeted by the shell to have special meaning, and
since you're using both, it's kind of difficult to avoid awkward commands.

You'd need to give something like:

% proj -I +proj=cass +ellps=airy +lon_0=3d46"'"47'"'w +lat_0=55d40"'"23'"'n
0 0
3d46'47"W       55d40'23"N
