No, no. I don't need a different behaviour. I need a normal behaviour, but
Quote() was buggy with special chars.
As I told you, I was playing, with SHELL. Exactly I was oggencodin a file 
called "F. B. - Gravità Permanente.wav".

I had to Quote() the file in the SHELL command, because oggenc
believes that name is not a single file.

sfile = "F. B. - Gravità Permanente.wav"
SHELL "oggenc -q 6 " & Quote(sfile) WAIT

but Quote() returned that bad char (instead of à) and oggenc didn't find the 
file. So I found the bug.
If I don't Quote() oggenc thinks that name is non a uniq file.

As workaround I quoted myself with "\"" & sfile & "\"", and that's solved the 
question. 

I hope, I was clear.

Thanks for fixing. I think I will test in the afternoon.

Best regards,

Stefano
