Yes. I prefer single quotes because they seem less of a clutter to me so I unintentionally made it sound like only single quotes could work. Sorry. Double quotes work too. This is semi-useful if you need to pass a single quote but not necessary since a double single quote between single quotes becomes a single single quote(tongue twister?!). In other words the OS/2 command: echo don't do that! can be called from REXX in the following two ways(among others): "echo don't do that!" or 'echo don''t do that!' -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Tim Lengel (tim@secant.com) Software Engineer Secant Technologies, Inc. http://www.secant.com -----------------------------------------------------------
