Tom,

Thanks for that explanation. After some testing and trials I came to about
the same conclusion.

I _think_ "weak" and "strong" are to indicate the amount and/or kind
of 'protection' that is given to the quoted value. "Strong" quotes
provide full protection -- whatever you type between the quotes will
be protected from all the stuff that can happen from parameter
substitution and other possible effects. "Weak" quotes pretty much
act merely as delimiters -- the stuff between the quotes is still
subject to change though the effects are held within the limits.

If you put a variable name within "weak" quotes, the value of the
variable may/will replace the variable name. If you put it between
"strong" quotes, then all you're going to get is just that name as
the value.

Weak or strong? Am I simply marking an area? or do I want
protection? It might not be correct, but it works for me.
