On W10 hidden 8.3 format names still work.

Eg in Explorer when you enter C:\PROGRA~1 in the address bar it goes to "Program Files".
(between PROGRA and 1 is a Tilde not a dash. In my browser it looks like a dash)

In a CMD window enclosing in double quotes also works.

CHDIR "c:\Program Files"

I think MMBasic can include double quotes in a string but don't remember how.
