Well sure, of course. Um... a... :-)

P.S.:
Actually, we can do the same in Windows: http://cygwin.com
Is that cheating?

Huh?! That's not even a problem...

The above is properly treated as 1 argument.
Actually, turns out that the ^ does not even work from the command prompt.
I guess I can try doing this:
temp.cmd "argument that has a literal "" as part of its value"
as a close appr
Thanks Bill for the suggestion. I tried it, but it did not work. Maybe I
can give a better example that illustrates the problem.
I want to pass my script an argument that has quotation marks and spaces
inside it.
Here is the contents of my script, temp.cmd:
start "Arg1" cmd /K echo %1
start "
An Ant file is an XML file, therefore, you need to use the XML element for
quote marks if you want the real quote mark to appear in the target. The XML
element for quote mark is ". Carefully replace only those quote marks
that need to be passed along with this element name and it should work.
