Hi Mark and the person who needed the help.
I was only trying to help.
In general, you can either use the quotes or shorten all names to
8 characters using a ~1 or ~2 or ~3 in them to get them to work.
I don't know why it wouldn't work this time, maybe you need
a ~2 (I've seen that sometimes but never could figure out why).

But Mark is right even more than I am.
Just use spaces around the long name instead of shortening the
name to 8 characters with the tilde designation.

Oh, Mark,
I don't get the command.com statement.
I never use command.com any more than I use autoexec.bat or
config.sys.
