enclosing variable in quotes

[fpgroups .]

A couple of suggestions

1. Send quotes as literal enclosed within single quotes or escape the
backslash by adding one or two more of them

2. Use chr

3. Dump to file and reference the file as parameter source

That said, you made no mention of where this is happening, menu, shell or
processing

If I'm wanting to pass my variable with double quotes included, why does
processing not like this?

aa=somedata

ab="\"aa\""

This simply returns literally  "aa"

How do I get it to show   "somedata"?

This doesn't work either    ab="\"{aa\""   or   ab="\"<aa\""

thanks
