Cheers,Steve
Thank you, didn't know that page. This really helped, since it confirmed my expectations Smilie and prove all other posters here wrong (no offence)

A summary of options are included below. -ox Specifies "x" to be the open quote character. -cx Specifies "x" to be the close quote character. -pn Specifies "n" to be the open quote character, as an integer. -dn Specifies "n" to be the close quote character, as an integer. -a Specifies that all arguments are to be quoted. The default is that only arguments containing spaces are quoted. SEE ALSO
