Another potential bug in EXIST() for 4.21RC2

It seems that EXIST cannot handle file/foldernames that are enclosed in either single or double quotes. I also seem to have the same problem with MOVE/DEL

code:

break on
cls

$iRC=setoption('WrapAtEOL','ON')

$a='%WINDIR%'
if exist($a)
  ? 'Found '+$a
else
  ? 'Unable to find '+$a
endif

$a='"%WINDIR%"'
if exist($a)
  ? 'Found '+$a
else
  ? 'Unable to find '+$a
endif

$a="'%WINDIR%'"
if exist($a)
  ? 'Found '+$a
else
  ? 'Unable to find '+$a
endif

$a='%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\*.lnk'
if exist($a)
  ? 'Found '+$a
else
  ? 'Unable to find '+$a
endif

$a='"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\*.lnk"'
if exist($a)
  ? 'Found '+$a
else
  ? 'Unable to find '+$a
endif

$a="'%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\*.lnk'"
if exist($a)
  ? 'Found '+$a
else
  ? 'Unable to find '+$a
endif

But sigle qoutes are leagal charaters in file/folder names, so KiX shouldn't check for single quotes. I just made this folder on my XP workstation: C:\'Folder surrounded by single quotes' -Erik
