The target syntax follows DOS file naming rules.  You need
The first quotation mark at the start of the line

"C:\Program Files\Insightful\splus61\cmd\SPLUS.exe S_CMDFILE=+c:\Program
Files\Insightful\splus61\users\myname\history.q"

The folder c:\Program Files\Insightful\splus61\users\myname and the file
history.q must exist.  Probably this is not true--in place of myname you
need your login name, and you may need to create the file history.q.

To omit the quotes,

c:\progra~1\insigh~1\splus61\cmd\splus.exe 
S_CMDFILE=+c:\progra~1\insigh~1\splus61\users\yourloginname\history.q

should work fine.  You may send grateful thank-you notes to Mr. Gates for
this elegant syntax.
