Surrounding the string in quotes that actually become part of the
string should work:
run("\"c:\\Program Files\"")
You then do not have to escape each individual space.

Hi Garry,
Honestly, I do not understand what you did not understand. The problem
is, that it is undocumented by Freedom, that the "Run" function can act
only on so called "escaped" path strings, which does not contain spaces,
but its ALT code, the "\32". Or can work with the short file and
directory names.
But now, thanks to Haetir, I know it already and so I can mention it in
the Hungarian version of JAWs Basic language reference.
Cheers,
Csaba
