Hi Folks, I've got a 10 year old student who wants to create an animated minifig. He wants to create an animated gif by posing the minifig into a walking motion.

(...) You could also define an escape character, to accept the character following (including spaces) as part of the string. However, as the standard allows both / and \ as directory separators, it would require some character other than \ (a common (...) (19 years ago, 11-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) There are other possibilities too, for example: 7. You can exceed 8.3 but don't embed spaces or other sorts of whitespace 8.
