At the ClassAd level, if the right-hand side of an inserted 
expression is quoted with double quotations, then the expression is a 
string literal.  If the right-hand side of the expression is not 
quoted, then it is an expression.

Take a look at condor_submit; it knows which are expressions and 
which are strings and inserts the expressions into the ad appropriately.

If you are writing your own submit client, I would suggest submitting 
a job via condor_submit and then inspect the classad via "condor_q 
-l".  Attributes that are string values will be double quoted, 
expressions will not.

Hope this helps,
Todd
