Actually, it does!  But then the C RTL lowercases everything again, because
about 80-90% of the switches on imported Unix C programs are lower case.

Apparently, the quotes get preserved when DCL upcases the command line,
since they are still there when C reads it  and downcases it again.

$ set process/parse_style affects this in mysterious ways, but probably
doesn't do what you want to avoid quotes, according to a quick look at
HELP SET PROCESS/PARSE

Oh, and any list of hints and helps that are specifically VMS-related would
really be appreciated.  There is a VMS Samba FAQ, but it is very old and
mostly relates to Samba v1.x
