Hi, this is a FreeCOM issue. FreeCOM strips leading whitespace from
program parameters before calling programs. I think your problem is
that you want to align text using leading whitespace, so you probably
want Steffen to remove this feature from FreeCOM ?

Another possibility is to do:
zecho .           Text
and make zecho "eat" everything up to the first "." - then it will run
both with MS DOS command.com and FreeCOM command.com the same way.
