    Below are the results of the simple program CMDLINE.ICN with
the DOS (not 4DOS) command processor.  They are exactly the same as
for 4DOS.  The same reduction of the three embedded spaces in the
CD string to one occurred as can be seen below.  Here again, there
seems to be no command line argument that will output the string:
                *cd \

h:\>type v:\cmdline.icn
procedure main(C)
  every write(&output,C[1 to *C])
end

h:\>c:\dos\command.com /c v:\cmdline.exe "A   B"  \"C   D\"
A
B
C D
