Hi Users
Using QPC on a PC I use dir dos1_ to see the content but I would like to
look into a folder so I try dir dos1_xx and it works but dir dos1_Program
Files does not.
Is there a trick or is it not possible?
Thanks, if you reply,

Because Tony did the quotes wrong. Always enclose the whole
expression.
dos1_program files
In DOS one usually uses c:\program files. While Tony's version might
actually work there (DOS command line parsing has ceased

One can actually disable this feature, but on most systems it should
work just fine, yes.

c:\progra~1 is the 8.3 dos compatible version.

c:\Progra~2 is c:\Program Files

filename. (I
