Thanks, Doug! The solution you have proposed me works well, so the
following lines are enough to get the right path to pass to the RUN
function:
sPath = IniReadString (gsSection, "Path", "", gsIniFile)
sPath = "\"" + sPath + "\""
Run (sPath)
So the user can simply save the desired pathes into the INI file with
double backslashing and the spaces in the path have no importance.
