You're on the right track with attempt #2. The question mark syntax
replaces double quotes with something else, and so you can embed double
quotes into the string your attempting to send.
Try this. Untested since I don't have any services I want to turn off, but I
think you get the idea.
Do(?~*Dos *Hide net stop "Service name"~)
