Correct. Use smbclient. See docu and help for command line switches.
Invcoke smbclient either by "MCR SAMBA_EXE:SMBCLIENT ..." or define a
symbol

   $ smbclient :== $samba_exe:smbclient

and then simply type

   $ smbclient //server/share "-U" newbie ...

note that without double quotes DCL command line input get converted to
lowercase. Inside smbclient always use UNIX syntax for file
specification.
