Actually, it's no problem having any of those characters in your arguments,

My point is that using 'words' on the argument sting to 'runProcess' and expecting the same result as 'runCommand' implies making those assumptions::

Prelude System.Process> let args = "_* foo \"bar rab\" $$"

Prelude System.Process> runProcess "echo" (words args) Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing _* foo "bar rab" $$

Prelude System.Process> runCommand ("echo "++args) _darcs foo bar rab 2121

This behavior is Windows-specific;

No it's not... Never mind. jcc
