Could you explain that further?  I've never needed to double them, as
you can see from the example.  The only time that ssh requires me to
type anything differently is the tilde (and then only when it's
immediately preceded by a carriage-return, which is pretty rare) -- I
have to type it twice.

Or did you mean something like this --

        unix$ ssh windoze net use j: \\\\\\\\server\\\\host /u:user password

-- 
But users will not now with glad cries glom on to a language that
gives them no more than what Scheme or Pascal gave them.
