help with syntax...filepro 5.0.13 OSR 5.0.7

I'm trying to generate a file that will make hundreds of symbolic links 
but I'm missing the right combination of  's and  `s  within the system 
noredraw command.

here's where the magic takes place :

Then: system noredraw "umask 0;cd /vegedoc;FI=`find . -name"<imp(4){".pd

f -print`;echo 'ln -s $FI"<dd{"' >> /usr2/tmp/foundit"

the outfile being created looks like this :

ln -s $FI 
/vegedoc/CoreCenter/AMC/AMC-150/1---A22-EnsambleDeMotor/E-150-A22.pdf

The $FI becomes not a variable when you put in between 's but if I don't 
put the 's the system tries to execute a ln command.

if I replace the echo part with " ; echo $FI >> /usr2/tmp/foundit"

I get the real value of $FI.

Can you find the problem ??

Thanks
