My friend Bob asked me to post this question of his here on CIS:

Can you ask anyone who might be able to help, how to get 
Shell+ v2.1 NOT to strip the '%' from a command line?
 
I am attempting to write a smart mailer to be used with both of current OS-9 
UUCP programs out there.  In order to be able to handle Internet-style 
addresses properly such as:  bob%kc2wz.uucp@fdurt1.fdu.edu
 
When Shell+ gets done with the address it becomes: bobkc2wz.uucp@fdurt1.fdu 
.edu  definitely not the same thing.
 
Quoting the address like you can do with '!' to protect it from the shell 
doesn't help.  Shell+ still removes the '%'.  I guess no matter what it treats 
the % as a shell variable.
 
Seems like a bug in Shell+.  Does anyone have a way to fix this?
