Maybe I have taken it out of context, but I consider that above statement may apply to `start-process' but not to `start-process-shell-command' exactly to avoid problems with quoting. > Kind of sounds like I should be using `start-process-shell-command' > again!

Use `start-process' or `call-process' -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M. Stallman https://stallmansupport.org/
