I solved this by testing parameter passing by shelling to a batch file that shows the parameters it received and pausing until I can digest it. Here is the line I use to shell to a program in the current folder that process the input file and creates the output file: ! ProgramName "&VariableWithInputFileNameWithEmbeddedSpaces" OutputFileName
i have discovered that if one passes the parameters without any attempt to put elements into quotes or double quotes - things just work. One does need double quotes around filenames with embedded spaces and macro expansion allows using a filename in a variable.
