OK. I RTFM. This suggests I need "SCAN OFF". So I try:
30 *-* 'SCAN OFF'
>>> "SCAN OFF"
32 *-* 'CHANGE c''(&FOO,BAR)'' wombat ALL'
>>> "CHANGE c'(&FOO,BAR)' wombat ALL"
+++ RC(4) +++
... same failure; And once again, if I paste the failed command
onto the command line, it performs the change.
And what if I need to use both a literal ampersand and a symbol
value in the same command. How do I protect the former while
allowing evaluation of the latter?
