Subj : How to put <space> in menu.ctl xtern_dos

How do I put a space in the <cmd> part of a Xtern_Dos menu item ?

Eg, in "menus.ctl":

==============================================================================
Xtern_Dos   C:\GAMES\KNK\KNK.BAT DORINFO1.DEF   normal   "Kannons & Katapults"
==============================================================================

The above example will give an "Invalid ACS definition: 'DORINFO1.DEF'" error
(Maximus treats the "dorinfo1.def" as the access definition rather than a
parameter to "KNK.BAT"). I want Maximus to treat "dorinfo1.def" as a parameter
to the calling batch file.

I don't want to use a MECCA file.

I think there's a trick to do this or some special character sequence for blank
spaces in a *.ctl (or that could just be my imagination). The closest thing I
can find in the documentation is "%U" but this is for underlines.
