(continuation) CED's author could do a couple of things to fix this problem. One of them would be to modify the parser so that blanks inside quotes are not delimiters. (Well, technically this is a scanner modification. 🙂 Then, if you wanted to pass arguments containing blanks, you could do it like this: replace '"french fries"' '"onion rings"' If you do this with the present version, I believe that the '"' chars are interpreted literally. Another solution would be to provide actual Rexx functions for some of these operations: e.g.: call replace("french fries", "onion rings") Then the arguments would be passed in separate arg strings, rather than concatenated into one big arg string. (BTW, it would be nice if "replace" could do global replacement from a Rexx macro…) Regards, Lee
