I've been doing some experimenting with VLT's ARexx port and have found
something curious.  The commands EMIT (which displays a string on VLT's
window) and SEND (which sends a string to whoever VLT is connected to),
only seem to recognize the first word of the string sent.  For example:

----
/*A test of VLT's ARexx command 'SEND'*/

address vlt

"send ls -l News*N"
----

results in only 'ls' being sent to the host.  Does anybody know if this is
a bug, or if it is intentional?  If it is intentional, any recommendations
on sending an entire line of text aside from using multiple 'send' commands
or doing an ASCII file transfer?  I'm using version 4.846, BTW.  Thanks.
