HDB also doesn't handle quoted strings very well, either.  For example,
if you execute:
	uux -</some/input/file remotesite!lp "'-options'"
(because the options may have whitespace in them), what actually gets run is:
	lp ' -options '		<--- note the extra spaces inserted
Needless to say, this causes the remote command ("lp" in our example) some
confusion as it hunts for a file with a leading space in it instead of
evaluating the options and then reading the standard input.

If somebody has a fix for this, I'd dearly love to hear from you.......
