Hi,

Tried all that - it'd work well until one of the arguments also had spaces
and thus had "" or '' encapsulating it - this weirdness is the reason for
this post.
Shawn, even the good old "C:\pathwi~1\gammu.exe" failed :-(

The only way I've gotten it to work was to get rid of the spaces in the
path/to/exe.
