     16-bit programs receives _one string_ with full command line. Parsing
this string complete at the PROGRAM conscience. BC++ RTL (see setargv.asm)
handles quotes and all "My long file name.txt" will be passed into argv[] as
one string [without quotes]. AFAIK, MSC does same. If you implement parsing
command line in PSP manually, then _you_ may forget about quotes.

     But there is another trouble: with BC/MSC RTL you can't implement MS
FIND syntax!
