Ken, ignore my previous post. The transcript command is run through 
format() so the problem is that format() interprets \ as the escape 
character for C strings. So any backslashes have to be escaped 
"c:\\program files..."

However, it probably is going to have to be something like this to feed 
it the filename to open

put "%s" into tTmpFile
put quote & "c:\\program files\\textpad 4\\textpad.exe" & quote into 
tEditor
get shell( tEditor && tTmpFile )
