   I have a different perspective.   
      
   The code posted, which I ran on VMS as:   
      
    > $ bash   
    > bash-4.4$ QUOTE='"'   
    > bash-4.4$ ./test "Hello World" ${QUOTE}Hello World${QUOTE}   
    > Hello World   
    > "Hello   
    > World"   
    > bash-4.4$ exit   
    > exit   
      
   (using VSI's recent VMS x86-64 GNV  kit)   
      
   may not be something used in the real world, but it does raise the   
   question of how to do it in DCL.   
      
   And I came up with:   
      
    > $ quote = """"""   
    > $ mcr sys$disk:[]test "Hello World" "''quote'"Hello World"''quote'"   
    > Hello World   
    > "Hello   
    > World"   
      
   There may be better solutions.   
      
   (if anyone knows one please post!)   
      
   But it is definitely on topic for c.o.v/I-V.   
      
   And maybe (just maybe) it is useful for a current or a future reader.   
      
   I do not care much about who raised the question. It doesn't change   
   being on topic or potential usefulness.
