Subject:	pass arguments enclosed with double quotes from bash shell to windows program

I need to start acrobat from a bash shell.

Acrobat needs some of its parameters to be enclosed with double
quotes. This is needed to automatically open and print a pdf.

When I try to do that directly from a bash shell, I can't get it to
pass arguments enclosed with the double quotes.

It will do that for arguments with spaces in them, but for single word
arguments, it doesn't

If I try to do a \", then it passes the \" to the windows app.

The only workaround I've come up with so far, is to create a batch
file in the bash shell, and then invoke it with a cmd /c batch.bat

But there should be a way to control how arguments are passed.

Does anyone have any ideas.
