  Using empty strings with PS
  ---------------------------
  
  Try the follwing example invoking the Python command shell.
  
  With cmd you can use en empty string like
  `pwb shell foo "" bar -noimport`
  
  For PS you have to escape the empty string in this form using the gravis 
symbol:
  
    pwb shell foo `"`" bar -noimport
  
  Or you can igrnore PS parsing with `--%` symbol like:
  `pwb shell --% foo "" bar -noimport`
