   Try some more subtle examples. On a proper POSIX-type system:   
      
       QUOTE='"'   
       ./test "Hello World" ${QUOTE}Hello World${QUOTE}   
       Hello World   
       "Hello   
       World"   
      
   Try to get the equivalent in DCL:   
      
       quote = """"   
       «rigmarole equivalent to ./test» "Hello World" 'quote'Hello World'quote'   
      
   What’s it going to print?
