getting a double quote by the xp_cmdshell

Help,

I am aware of all that the xp_cmdshell can do once you
have it and it runs with the authority/context that
you need.

While dumpster diving for .bat, .sql, .log, .iss ,
.cmd or .bak files
I sometimes want to see the contents of the file with
a quick  NT DOS command:

xp_cmdshell "type c:\program files\esm\agent.iss"

The NT TYPE command works if I enclose the whole
drive:\path with double quotes - the space in between
the program files is the problem

I cannot figure out the syntax for adding double
quotes around this - inside the above xp_cmdshell
command.

I have searched the web and found good sql references
- but have not found out how to get those "" inside
the xp_cmdshell.

anyone ?

sending the file via TFTP is not always allowed or
advisable - since most IDS can be easily setup to see
all tftp get/puts - also - I am aware of the other
ways to get the file  - sharing out the drive  etc..
