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.
