Kapryan,
In most cases, ARexx commands expect to see a variable as an argument.
Using quote marks allows you to use a text string. In a few cases,
particularly the ADDRESS COMMAND directions, the quotes allow the ARexx
expression to work on a standard (AmigaDOS) command.
For example…..
If you enter a = 'hello' then
say a or say 'hello' do the same thing.
if you use ….
address command 'copy df0:file df1:'
then ARexx lets the computer execute the AmigaDOS copy command.
When the string is set off with quotation marks, ARexx does not see the
expression as a valid ARexx command.
