I have been looking for some source that would implement a replacement
for paramstr() such that it returns quoted items as a single token
much like C argv[][] (I am not a fan of C this is just a reference :-)
) for example calling a program with:  -s /N "Smith Brown" foo.2
should be parsed as:
param#	paramstr
1	-s
2	/N
3	"Smith Brown"
4	foo.2

Currently in TP single or double quoted strings containing white space
are broken into individual tokens.
Thank you for any pointers.
Thank you.
