system command

[Dennis Malen]

Here it is John,

Just make sure you don't get confused with the other postings that were 
trying to use three \ before the actual character and when using echo where 
only one \ is needed.

Also remember that msgbox box may show it correctly as far as what you think 
you are sending, but it is not. Start with Mark's last post as he was able 
to get at least part of the line to a redirected file.

See below for the info you requested.

Thanks,

Dennis Malen

PS I hope everyone does not get upset if I leave early on Wednesday as I am 
a speaker at a conference in Chicago.

Then:le="echo";lg="\"\\033&o";pa="Fvar 
Searchnum="{@rn{";CompileFile(\\\"260268.cs\\\");\\015\""
There is a space between Fvar and Searchnum
