Jim,
I don't know if it helps or if you know already and it doesn't work for what
you're trying to do but double quotes around the path/filename should
resolve the problem:
set var vFileName text = ' " d:\blah blah blah\blah.fle " '
del .vFileName
works in RBW6.5 under W98 (I've left spaces around the quotes to try and
make them stand out more).
Regards, Alastair.
