I did discover one issue with the example given.
I get an error if I enter it this way:
'winmm PlaySoundA> i *c x i'&cd 'D:\13 Paganini_ Moto Perpetuo In C, Op.
11.wav';0;0
|domain error: cd
| 'winmm PlaySoundA> i *c x i'&cd'D:\13 Paganini_ Moto Perpetuo In C,
Op.
11.wav';0;0
But I do not get an error if I enter it this way, with a space between
PlaySoundA and > :
'winmm PlaySoundA > i *c x i'&cd 'D:\13 Paganini_ Moto Perpetuo In C, Op.
11.wav';0;0
