Yes and no.

Firstly noting appears to happen for quite some time. Then gsview does 
start with the required file, but there is also a message from cmd.exe 
saying that the file "myfile.ps" cannot be found. (While it is just being 
displayed---isn't Windows simply a wonderful operating system?)

Why does the addition of \"\"  make a difference? I understand it adds in 
quotes.
