Worked around. Instead of dealing with directory name strings in the SHELL command, I execute a BAT file and CD to the working directory ahead of the SORTs.

Now ... if you've been a programmer in a commercial environment for a reasonable length of time, you'll be aware of the adage "The user doesn't know what he wants until he sees what he gets".

In my case the user now wants some post-sort processing so I'll use a bubble or quick sort internally.

Thanks for all of the tips, guys. Heart
