  Try using
  SET VAR vALPHA =  'C: \ ALPHA BETA'
  DIR .vALPHA



  I use dotted variables for all my file access commands now.

    Hello
    I have a directory called "ALPHA BETA" (note the space character between 
ALPFA and BETA ).
    The command DIR C: \ ALPHA BETA  signals  "Syntax is incorrect for the 
command DIR (2045)."
    Then I do the command:
    SET VAR vALPHA =  'DIR C: \ ALPHA BETA'
    &vALPHA
    but  I have the same error message.
    How can I do?
    TIA
