Hi all,

I am writing a small command line utility that will take a folder alias, 
look up the path to that folder and either cd to that folder or launch 
explorer at that folder.

The explorer part works fine the cd part is giving me an error with long 
filenames. I am running it using ex.exe instead of exw.exe so that the 
work will happen in my current dos session.

   system("cd c:\\program files", 2) results in 
   Too many parameters - files

   system("cd \"c:\\program files\"", 2) results in 
   Parameter format not correct -  "c:\program

Any suggestion would be appreciated.
