I have no problem with that and neither will v8power tools or the installer. :-)

That is fine and it will work fine. The order of text and parameters is
not important and will be parsed correctly.
Only a minor displayed output issue. You would have 2 spaces between %1 and
volledig.
You have three options:
1) Make it all inside the same quote.
2) Remove the leading space before volledig.
3) stick a /s- in there, causing no spaces between strings.
here is an example of that kind of stuff using vecho:
vecho Hello there my /s- friend how “are you” /s+ today? “I SAID
FINE” !
would output:
Hello there myfriendhoware you today? I SAID FINE !
Hope that makes sense.
One more note, to use quotes like the ‘ character you must quote it.
Examples:
vecho ‘Say “Hello” Bob’
Say “Hello” Bob
vecho “Bob’s House”
Bob’s House.
The first quote sets the terminating quote.

Basically, lets say you have two choices.
Format and erase drive. Totally nuking my hard drive.
Quit to Dos.
If for some reason, the text exceeds one line and is spanned across multiple
lines
the it will become it’s own choice. So, if the choice are is two narrow or you
insert
a line break switch (/p) in a choice string, it will cause a new and choice to
be created.
So, if the above options output like this:
Format and erase drive. Totally nuking
my hard drive.
Quit to DOS.
You now have 3 choices (one per line) and quit to dos is no longer result 2.
Anyhow, for now, you really don’t need to worry about it. Once, I have the time
to
finish the LangTest.bat utility. I will go through and adjust the frame sizes
to accommodate
text width and other such things.
