directory paths using MacroScheduler on Win95; quotes

Hi. Two different questions

I'm scripting something for a Win95 system. If I do things like

Change Directory> ...

do I need to use the DOS filename aberrations, e.g.,

Let>newCD="C:\progra~1\mjtnet~1\macros~1"
Change Directory>newCD

or can I do it right, that is,

Let>newCD="C:\Program Files\MJT Net Ltd\Macro Scheduler"
Change Directory>newCD

My second question is how do I put a quote in a string? Double it? Slashify it?

Thanks,

Hi,

With the Change Directory command you can do it either way - either use the short name version of put the path in quotes. This is nothing to do with strings but more to do with the way the operating system works.

With other strings you don't need to use quotes so if you need a quote mark within a string just bung it in.
