I thought quotes were used to force whatever is inside of it to be treated as a single parameter. So for example, if I had a function called DoStuff, you could call it 2 ways: DoStuff( a b c ) DoStuff( "a b c" ) My understanding is that the first one will send 3 parameters to DoStuff. The second will send only 1 parameter that is a list of 3 items. Also, what if I do this: set( Stuff foo bar;baz ) What will happen here?
