Well I got it to work Here's what i DID.

	getstring '" "' question.X
	if (result= "") | (result="RESULT") then result= "'Ya Made A Boo Bo!'"
answer = '"'||result||'"'
/* This is the Main Diff!!! */
okay1 answer
	replace rvar.X answer

Aparently the replace needs a set of " " around the string it gets sent.
but it seems to strip off too many sets of " " 
(posibially AREXX strips off 1 set then CED does it again.???
(Or it's just a Programming ERROR!)

Thus i add an extra set of "  " to the ends of the string inside
the var. answer.  thus 'Joe Smith' becomes "'joe Smith'"
i don't think this is ever needed to BE done in AREXX .
thus i can't see why it NEEDS to be done here., (Thus a Bug??)

so the replace strips off a set of "" and still has a set to work with.
the second set DOES NOT appear in the replaces text. ie. they also get
striped off and the Text+spaces gets put where it belongs.

I am using Version 2 CED pro. Thus this BETTER be FIXED in the NEXT VERSION!!!

well Keep on REXX'ing

C
thus i add an extra set of " " to the (results)
