Hello All,

Quick question about the shell. I'm trying to do something like this from an
MPE prompt:

sh.hpbin.sys '-c "cvs commit -R -m \"my cvs message\" " '

But it doesn't like me using \" as a third level of quotes, is there a way of
getting more quote levels? I can't use the ` character as MPE doesn't like it
and the shell executes anything that use the backtick quotes.

Thanks,
-Pete
