Well I am having a problem (Posibially a BUG!)
with CED& AREXX
Her is the little program. (or at least a Part of it)

i
do X = 0 to 5  /* Do it five Times*/
getstring '" "' question.X /* CED comand to get a String Requestor*/
if (result= "") | (result="RESULT") then result= "Ya Made A Boo Bo!"
/* Above line checks to see that somthing got entered! */
answer = result  /* (A temp var I was using to Try to fix the Problem */
okay1 answer  /* Will Show what ya typed, a De-Bug step*/
	replace rvar.X answer /* MAin Problem Seems to be with this function*/
          /* rvar.X is a <NAME> string in the TEXT file */
	 /* I am geting a response to somthing like Your Name?  
	    I put in Joe Smith. The Text string <NAME> is to then
		get replaced by "Joe Smith" */
end

Ok I run this from ced, (with an OPTOPNS RESULTS ect.)
the think will work fine as long as i don't have any spaces in the
requestor field. If i put in 2+ words only the first one is used
ie. The othere get lost somewhere.

e. i put "JOE SMITH" and the string <NAME> gets replaced by JOE

speces DO work from CED manually, I just can't get this to work.
from REXX......  seems the result has the whole name w/ spaces
but the replace foo yoo line loses the following words.

I've tried all kinds of quoating but nothing seems to work.

(hmmmm. i wponder is a direct 

replace <name> "JOE SMITH" would work.... If i got just JOE
i'd know that there is NO way to fix this problem....

well HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanx.
