Hi guys, the "FreeCOM should preserve all leading and trailing whitespace
in the arguments it passes on to programs" issue has been addet to the
FreeCOM todo (reluctantly) long time ago. No matter if removing spaces is
more elegant, preserving spaces seems to be necessary for bug/bug
compatibility with other DOSes, if you call it a bug not to remove that
whitespace.

PS: I have been sorting Bugtrack entries for hours now, and FreeCOM
definitely has lots of them, many concerning small things. Maybe as
"bugfix sweep" event would be nice :-).
