How to put commas in command line arg's?


Sorry to bother y'all with this; I am *sure* it's an
FAQ -- but when I requested the FAQ - btw - I rec'd a
message saying that there isn't one -- and I didn't
find anything that solved my problem in the archives
either.

I have got a program that takes command line arguments
that sometimes include commas. bash replies to
something of the following form w/ the following:
[QUOTE]
//mdw/...//test $ java test arg=testing(0,0)
bash.exe: syntax error near unexpected token
'arg=testing(0'
[END QUOTE]

Is there some easy way I can get bash to understand
that this comma does *not* end this token?

Also, *why* isn't there a cygwin FAQ?*

Tks - for your patience as well as your suggestions,
Matthew Weymar
