- Could anyone please tell me why, when I use the ! command within
- ftp to execute a Primos command, I have to quote the command if I wish
- to give it options? I don't need to on a unix system.
-
- Why not be *really* friendly and:
-
- 1) remove the need for quoting,
-
- 2) pass it through com$ab to expand abbreviations,
-
- 3) (you could even go the whole hog and call eval_a to expand functions!)
