I think the rationale was to allow paths containing spaces, which is a pretty serious problem on Windows. Seems like we have two basic options: 1. Quote only on Windows. 2. Expect user to put quotes in the EDITOR value if it contains a space-containing path. I don't much care for either of these :-(. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
