What is the reason for this?

Hi,

In the course of some experimentation in WinXP with sending commands to cmd.exe,
I found this situation:

If I use RUN cmd to bring up the console for commands in NT-style OS, and type
in echo. > "c:\long dir name\long file name.txt" it creates the file named "long
file name.txt" in the correct directory and adds three bytes 20 0D 0A.  But if I
use the system command in an Eu ".ex" file sending this:
system("cmd echo. > "&dQuote&fullPath&dQuote,2) then it fails.  What is the
actual difference between typing a command into the console, and sending the same
command via a system() call?

Thanks,

--Quark
