PMFJI, but I have wondered about this myself. I know what it's purpose is
but whenever I use it, it is treated as a literal. So if I do something
like
sprintf ( filename, "PROGDIR:%s", "filename"); and then
puts (filename);
I get PROGDIR:filename displayed where I should be something like
sys:filename.
What am I missing?
