You'll hvae to excuse the about-face, but I just read the <arg> documentation. value string A single command-line argument; can contain space characters. There's no such operating system (that I know of) that allows command-line arguments to contain space characters unless the argument is quoted. To reflect the change to the Argument backing type, this parameter should be changed: (to something like?) value string A single command-line argument. If this argument contains spaces then it will need to be quoted. Alternatively, a boolean attribute 'quote' or 'quoted' (defaulting to false) could be added to the element. -T Disclaimer Message: This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual(s) named.
