Need to make some assumptions on this:
- CommandPath is a literal name for an environment variable.
- var is a PowerPro variable containing the name of an environment
variable
- the final " at the end is intended to be part of the command
parameters (and not a delimiter on the command line).
- this final " is followed by a space
I would use
local cmd = ?"c:\Program Files\totalcmd\lister.exe"
local param= ?"/i="++env("COMMANDPATH")++?*\totalcmd.ini" *++env(var)
Do (cmd, param)
You can also write (one line)
Do (?"c:\Program Files\totalcmd\lister.exe", ?"/i=" ++ env
("COMMANDPATH")++?*\totalcmd.ini" * ++ env(var))
I suggest you avoid &() and %...% in expressions, eg Do statement.
(The reason is that &() and %...% do macro-type text expansion,
which can cause unexpected errors if the resulting text
includes "special" characters like \ or ".)

To put above in Do syntax, avoid & and %...%. Write env(var1)++.
Write var1++, not &(var1).
Use ?"..." to avoid problems with escape characters in file paths,
or write file paths literally with forward slashes.
