Re-read your message carefully.   "gettokens" is not "getfields".

getfields does not evaluate quotes, but tokenize does. Yet the man
page says: "Tokenize is gettokens with delims set to "\t\r\n ". Is
there a bug in getfields or is it a documentation bug?

Thank you,

P.S. My two earlier messages mysteriously disapperared.
