Windows' command shell does support quoting like Unix-based shells do.
CMD.EXE not, and COMMAND.COM neither.
'' is not supported.
" \"..\" " doesn't work as well, which is needed for many perl one-liners
searching for strings.
Therefore I have to use bash.exe or tcsh.exe or use the octal equivalent of ".
best is the latest cygwin bash.
But forward slashes do work on NT as pathname delimiters.

Use an OS with real command-line shells ;^)
This is not OS dependent. bash and tcsh work fine on NT.
Who knows what the rules are in a Windows Scripting Host?
Is possible to have it call a wrapper
Perl(?) script that then calls MHonArc with arguments you need?
that depends how the command is called. normally they spawn a subshell
and garble the args then. calling perl.exe or via OLE (PerlEz) directly would
help but is not general enough.
e.g. apache requires the correct she-bang path to perl
#!/usr/bin/perl or #!d:\perl\bin\perl.exe
