wyrdrc string syntax follows that of OCaml, which means a string must be enclosed in double-quotes and embedded double-quote characters must be backslash-escaped. So try this: set template0="REM %mday% %monname% %year% +5 MSG %\"XXX\%" %b%" set template1="REM %mday% %monname% %year% +5 AT %hour%:%min% DURATION 1:00 MSG %\"XXX%\" %b%" I'm not in a position to test this right now, but I believe it's correct.
