Hello, What do you think "My_Doc" is? It is an alias, a path
as string, passed in a variable.

What do "you" think MyDoc is? An alias is not a path-string, a path-string
is a value of type string, an alias is a value of type alias:

alias "path-string" -- makes sense
file "path-string" -- makes sense, except that it may require Jon's commands,
-- or otherwise may be unacceptable to Quark under certain
-- circumstances/verisons/etc...

the riddles without any answers are of little use and don't address
the question or the problem.

A very nice attempt to answer your question was made by an experienced Quark scripter. I don't recall seeing any riddles posted in response to your question.
