You posted no code, but one possibility is that the commands in your
program should be literal strings rather than uninitialized symbols. For
example -- I use OS/2 commands because that is what I know, although
OS/2 is not case sensitive :).
/**/
Drop copy dir erase
file1 = 'autoexec.bat'
file2 = 'autoexec.bak'
dir file1 /* executes as DIR autoexec.bat */
"dir" file1 /* executes as dir autoexec.bat */
erase file2 /* executes as ERASE autoexec.bak */
copy file1 file2 /* executes as COPY autoexec.bat autoexec.bak */
"copy" file1 file2 /* executes as copy autoexec.bat autoexec.bak */
