TEXT command does not match HELP

The HELP for TEXT  states the following

 

Special Characters

If the text contains several successive blanks or a semicolon, the whole

string has to be enclosed in single quotes.

If the text contains single quotes then each one itself has to be enclosed

in single quotes.

If apostrophes are required in the text, each must be enclosed in single

quotes.

 

While confirming this I observed odd results.

 

The following is observed when using the command line.  I will use a carat

(^) to indicate a space character.

 

abc^^xyz   results in abcxyz

'abc^^xyz ' results in abc^^xyz

 

abc'xyz results in abc'xyz

'abc'xyz' results in abc^xyz'

 

abc'''xyz results in abc'''xyz

'abc'''xyz' results in  abc'^xyz'

 

abc'''^xyz results in abc'^^^xyz

'abc'''^xyz' results in abc'^xyz'

 

A change appears to be required..
