Hello again Don,

The user is given the option to type them in by hand (which BTW is the
only way it can be done so far anyway) and because they can enter
more than one path on one line we need something to delimit them.

The whole thing comes out to parsing the following four things:
1.  The line of paths with delimiters already present
2.  The line of open commands with delims too
3.  The line of arguments with delims
4.  The line of working directories, also with delims

Items 2,3, and 4 will come out the same as item 1 so im trying to
find the best solution for item 1 first.


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
