Getting strings from CED using GETSTRING works fine even when there are
spaces in the arguments or the string. Remember that: (1) AREXX ALWAYS
strips the outer most set of quotes off of everything. (2) CED strips 
a set of quotes which tells it that everything inbetween is a single
argument. 

So...

GETSTRING "This is a test."

doesn't work. but...

GETSTRING '"This is a test."'

does the expected thing.
