Out of interest, does the former version work? I.e. are the double quotes around the whole argument to SYSTEM only necessary if the pathname given as argument to the displayer has spaces? If so, it smells strangely like a bug. And if not, it smells more like an error in the Wiki.

Either way, I'd like to know.

Best regards,

Yeah, once those outer quotes are set, it makes good sense that quotes inside those have to be escaped.

So I'd also guess that it's a doc error - but look forward to hearing your test result.

(I could theoretically set up a test case myself, but it sounds like you already have a good one ready  ;)).

Best regards,

Thanks, both of you.

Now it makes sense :-).
