Double escaping is why I thought that it might be ugly. But as long as it's meant for tools and users still have something like file: I'm fine with it. Fortunately cmd.exe doesn't do escaping. Not having to use it, I must admit that I would kind of like things like -hda c\\:\\\\foo.img though. ;-) Kevin
