unable to run command with --long-name style

[kburtch]

Hi,

"--" is a comment in SparForte. The long option must be in quotes or
use backslahes for the minus signs.

=> ls "--version"
=> ls --version

For more information, please read "Why do I get an error when I run a
command with a long option on the command prompt?" in the FAQ.

Thanks.
