Hi Don,
Using MLCad as a benchmark, the name with blanks is *not* enclosed in quotes.
I use the remainder of the line, sans end of line as the file name.
Alas, my efforts are for naught. L3P quietly ignores the lines that have names
with blanks in them, so I added a check to LPub to flag this as an error and
stop processing.
If the new L3P allows blanks in file names, I can easily remove the check. It
is only in one place in the code. Once removed, the rest of the code is ready
for blanks in file names.
