Are these characters allowed anyway? In Unix any character except "/"
is allowed in a file name. On MS-Windows certain characters are not
allowed. The help mentions / \ : * ? " < > and |. So percent needs to
be escaped, but double quote not, it can't be part of a file name.

I think it should be:
#if defined(MSDOS) || defined(MSWIN)
We also need to check the value of 'shell'. If it's a Unix-like shell
then % probably should not be doubled.

Received it, thanks.

I'll take care of that.
