Note that your command line is not exactly the same as mine,
since one of the quotation marks has been left out. That
being so, what you got is also very confusing. The three
spaces between A and B were preserved, but what ended that
field? Not the escaped quotation mark because that appears
as part of the second field. I will give COMMAND.COM a try.
One potential difficulty here is that not all command
processors necessarily pass the same characters to the program.
