Package: rc
Version: 1.7.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


when completing filenames that include single quotes, rc does not escape the 
quotes.

I wanted to play the MIDI file “Dawn's Lament - Safalra.mid”.
Therefore, I typed in “timidity 'D” and pressed the tab key.

rc created the line “timidity 'Dawn's Lament - Safalra.mid'”.
Pressing the return key does not play the song in question.

In rc, single quotes inside single quotes need to be escaped;
the line should be “timidity 'Dawn''s Lament - Safalra.mid'”.

Though the problem might sound rare, it actually is not;
youtube-dl often produces files including single quotes.
Among 128 videos that I have downloaded using youtube-dl,
12 do contain at least one single quote in the filename.

The MIDI file from above and others can be downloaded here:
