OK, I played with this a bit and I think I'm narrowing in on a point of 
significance.  I found that my console bash and cmd worked exactly as 
Randall suggests if the path I was dragging and dropping had a space in
it's name.  In these cases, the result was quoted (with "").  Otherwise,
the path that resulted was not quoted.  Randall, is this what you see 
there?
