Thank you, Gary, but the problem I have is elsewhere:
$batch="C:\\winnt\\notepad.exe";
$name="C:\\www for SDC\\perl text.txt";
`"$name"`;
# works as you have told
`"$batch"`;
# starts notepad itself
`"$batch" "$name"`;
#! doesn't work - and that's the clue of my problems
and also system doesn't want to work with $batch and $name as it's parameter
sincerely
