Correct.  The various current command line shells (based in part on DOS, 
but never quite actually DOS anymore) do not quote variable assignments. 
  (Something of a side note, but *nix shells handle quotes at the shell 
level, but DOS-based ones require applications to handle quotes 
themselves.  This is one of the few times that the DOS-based approach is 
more flexible, but harder to code, which is more often the *nix philosophy.)
