windows compatible issue

Not recommended to use js4eos in mingwin or cygwin.Pleas use powershell or normal terminal of windows. You may need to escape quote of a command.For example

js4eos push action eosio.token transfer '["youraccount", "account2", "1.0000 EOS", "test"]' -p youraccount

you need replace '"' to '""' in normal terminal

js4eos push action eosio.token transfer "[""youraccount"", ""account2"", ""1.0000 EOS"", ""test""]" -p youraccount

you need add '' in PowerShell

js4eos push action eosio.token transfer '[\"youraccount\", \"account2\", \"1.0000 EOS\", \"test\"]' -p youraccount

vscode is recommendded
