We need to play around a bit to get " (quotes) to work inside a call to texmfstart. Right now, texmfstart eats the quotes.
How does write18 handle quotes? Right now, on a command prompt this works fine texmfstart --verbose bin:vim -c "set nu" t-vim.tex but in a test file \executesystemcommand{texmfstart --verbose bin:vim -c "set nu" t-vim.tex} gives system(texmfstart --verbose bin:vim -c "set nu" t-vim.tex)...executed. Notice that the quotes '..' went missing. How to get this to run. I want texmfstart to run vim as vim -c "command" file How do I save these quotes from texmfstart? Aditya
