#3823: "where" parameter incorrectly parsed in "d.vect" command on Windows

     Type:  defect     |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal     |  Milestone:  7.6.2
Component:  Display    |    Version:  svn-releasebranch76
 Keywords:  d.vect     |        CPU:  x86-64
 Platform:  MSWindows  |
-----------------------+---------------------------------
 I'm using GRASS GIS 7.6.0 on Windows 10 1809 (10.0.17763.437). I'm not
 sure if the version and milestone of the ticket are correct, I will change
 them if needed.

 When I execute the {{{d.vect}}} command, special characters in the
 {{{where}}} parameter (like the space, "<" and ">") are not correctly
 interpreted, even if the query is enclosed in quotes.

 An example is the following command, executed on the ''nc_spm_08_grass7''
 dataset:
 {{{
 d.vect schools_wake where="ADDRCITY='Raleigh' and GLEVEL='E'"
 }}}
 The output consists in the help page of {{{d.vect}}}, followed by this
 error message:
 {{{
 Sorry <GLEVEL='E'> is not a valid option
 }}}
 Nothing is shown on the monitor after the execution.


 Therefore, it looks like the {{{GLEVEL='E'}}} query condition is
 interpreted as another parameter of the d.vect command, when it is
 actually part of the {{{where}}} parameter.

 This problem happens both from the CLI (in Windows CMD) and the GUI. I've
 tried every possible combination of quotes and escape characters in the
 command, but none of them are working.
