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.

Ok I figured it out.

I use an underscore "_" to catenate spaces that are meant as part of a single string and "%U" for an actual underscore in the command line.
