Thanks for that informative answer. I had got there in the end with
Oleg's help. The key bit of information that I hadn't twigged to was the
alternative delimiter: 127{a.
I was trying to create 2 parameters for winexec with only " and/or *,
while also enclosing filenames with quotes, and couldn't see a way to do
it. From your post I've now also discovered that 'DEL' is a standard
noun for 127{a. (like 'LF' etc).
On the bright side my floundering helped me to stumble on an error in
win32api.dat that can now hopefully be corrected!
