<QUOTE> 

Syntax 

<QUOTE [string] >

where:

 string               unquoted string, quoted string, parenthetical
                      string, or numeric value

Description 

<QUOTE> returns a quoted string containing the elements of string 
surrounded by quotes.  If string is not present, <QUOTE> will return a
null quoted string.  If string is already a quoted string, it will be
returned with two sets of quotes round it.

See also:  <MAKEQUOTED>, <MAKEUNQUOTED>, <UNQUOTE>.

Example 

     <QUOTE The sun shines>

becomes:

     "The sun shines"

This command is not as "intelligent" as the MAKEQUOTED command, as it
puts quotes around a string regardless of what that string contains.  For
example:

     <QUOTE "The sun shines">

becomes:

     ""The sun shines""
