In-Reply-To: <8D05D130FFED31D-8E4-178DB@webmailstg-d03.sysops.aol.com> (lewcreary@cs.com's message of "Thu, 1 Aug 2013 17:13:11 -0400 (EDT)")

This is ambiguous: maybe the program you want to run is in the file
"c:/Program".  Or is it "c:/Program Files"?  Oh wait, maybe you meant
the executable "c:/Program Files (x86)/Python/Python31/python.exe -i"?

> ? ? ? ? (let* ((cmdlist (split-string-and-unquote cmd))

split-string-and-unquote was specifically used so that the user can
resolve those ambiguities by quoting the elements that contain
embedded spaces.  E.g. try

 (run-python "\"c:/Program Files (x86)/Python/Python31/python.exe\" -i" nil t)
