He probably has them there because of how the start command works. Here is
what my Windows 2000 box says:

D:\>start /?

Starts a separate window to run a specified program or command.

START ["title"] [/Dpath] [/I] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/SEPARATE | /SHARED]
      [/LOW | /NORMAL | /HIGH | /REALTIME | /ABOVENORMAL | /BELOWNORMAL]
      [/WAIT] [/B] [command/program]
      [parameters]

    "title"     Title to display in  window title bar.
...

Very peculiar way of settings the title I think but that's the way it is. So 
what
he seems to be trying to do is to get sure that if there are any 
'"' in the %s (filename) start will not interpret that as the title.

My two cents anyway...
