Nick -- Thanks for clarifying, I didn't read Tom's post closely enough or I
would have seen that the export was indeed getting called.
I've been working with getting the batch quoting working both for bash and for
windows command line (in VimOrganizer clone), trying to keep them as much alike
as possible. I think I have things working okay for now, but your tips may be
helpful if I end up with something more complex to send.
Regards,
Herb
