I found this:

Seems to be pretty straightforward BASIC-style quotation: use double
quotes to quote strings, and repeat any embedded double quotes.
This looks somehow consistent with your mention of having to wrap a
complete command string in double quotes in some situations.  Could
you verify this is how it works?  If so, this should be simple to
fix: the existing implementation should work, but it should also
replace all " with "" inside the string.

Cheers,
Peter
