[lug] Passing multiword parameters through rsh from ksh

[Elyse M. Grasso]

When I pass a parameter with blank spaces in it through rsh, it gets split 
into separate parameters when it reaches the remote program. 

My ksh and rsh are pretty rusty. Is there a syntax for doing this?

Does not work:
script.ksh 'multiword value' value2 
 
#!/bin/ksh
# check for valid params
rsh $HOST "progname"  "$@"

also does not work:
#!/bin/ksh
# check for valid params
note=$1
shift
rsh $HOST "progname" "'$note'" "$@"

Google is not being helpful.
