Ken,

Did not want to reply until I test this.

Hd="Equipment File"

sy=" foobar -sadd -lx -xa -d -t 130000 -r "<pm<" -h"<hd{""

System "$PFPROG/fp/dclerk"<sy

I test this on my system and what happened is the -h option only showed the
first word which is probably as would be expected if not quotes are used.
