You made me go look at RRBMY8. I'm Confused, can someone smart tell me when do 
you use quotes and when do you not (or do they both work)?

In the absence of a smart person, my understanding is that the last part of a
PROPERTY command is always a string and that, at present, R:Base will parse it
correctly regardless of the presence of quote marks PROVIDED THAT THERE ARE NO
SPACES.  If there are spaces, I think you need the quote marks:

PROPERTY RBASE_FORM CAPTION YoHoHo

PROPERTY RBASE_FORM CAPTION 'Yo Ho Ho'

I say "at present" because these things are subject to change over time as they
tighten up the parser.  If the docs call for quotes, I would use quotes.  They
should never cause the command to fail, whereas without quotes a command that
works today may not work in a future version.
