Error on system() in fP 5.0.14 Win32 - Need Help

[Fairlight]

The { instead of < and the missing leading open doublequote were both
typos.  The error I copy/pasted over RDP.  The code I was typing into email
by hand, and wasn't even looking at the actual source...I was also in a
hurry.  The code was actually correct and runnable on the system, I just
typed the email poorly.

As for 'cmd' vs 'command' and paths with spaces, for some reason I thought
if you put the path in doublequotes, it would work in 'command', but I just
tested and I was in error.  You're absolutely right.  And that would be a
critical difference unless you got the 8-character converted names to use
in the code.  Better to just do it in the native 32-bit environment
-anyway-, as things should actually run slightly raster I would think.
