OOPS: Re: [Openmcl-devel] handling special chars in CCL_DEF_DIR

[Barry Perryman]

sorry I mis-read your question (memo to me - read with brain engaged)

You can try the following as an example, this works on FreeBSD with /bin/sh, 
so should probably work on Darwin/Linux - it's cuts down the need for the 
"'" business.

#!/bin/sh

DD=/home/barry/it\'s\ mine
FILE=lispedit

MYVAR="${DD}" exec "${DD}/${FILE}" "$@"
