You can get exactly the the same effect by typing command line examples 
into MS-Word or Outlook and letting people copy and paste to the command 
line, as both programs "helpfully" and erratically convert double quotes 
to open/close curly double quote and minus into hyphen, etc. - I have 
had a large number of cases where this has happened and even start many 
of my utilities that are deployed to others with a fix parameter issues 
function that undoes such substitutions in all of sys.argv just to cut 
down on the number of "it doesn't work" complaints.
