I too would like to see unquoted file names in list. Am I > wrong or it was this way at some point? No it's the (core of) _describe which is causing this exception. I'll have a look. It was always (intended to be) the case that the list contained the words in quoted form. I vaguely remember some discussion about this and the argument for using quotes that this should make clearer which parts in the list belong together and which are really separate matches. Though this is probably less of an issue in the cases where _describe is used. Bye Sven -- Sven Wischnowsky wischnow@berkom.de
