Yes of course, I understand that. What I don't understand is where
the ampersand and dot are coming from in the displayed result.
I wondered if the fact that he places single quotes around the
argument string might be influencing things. Also the only example
he showed of a call where the second argument correctly is only
a single token/word, had "Foo" as a value. I doubt very much he
has a valid mvs symbol that's actually named "Foo".
So I suggest showing what hapens with just one value - a valid symbol
name - with and without single quotes.
