I think command.com has no idea about quoting arguments. Instead it is probably up to the program to notice that an argument starts with a '"' and then combine subsequent arguments... *sigh*. At least this is my experience from a long time ago with .bat-files and some program on Windows (possibly 98). But.... OTOH, commands like "dir" apparently works with arguments that have been quoted. Anyway, maybe a wrapper program for starting LyX could be a solution on Windows? (I.e., the program would parse the arguments and send them in a proper way to the LyX executable). cheers /Christian -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
