Yeah, I guess "most" is vague.
I did check, and Bob Smith's NARS2000 supports double-quotes.
Do you know of APLs beside Dyalog that do not support them?

Still no progress on this?

In most other APLs, I can say
  A←"Don't"

This would be an issue when migrating from APL+Win to Dyalog.

Thank you , Vince. That works.

A newbie question: How would I have found this on my own?
I don't see it when I execute

Is this something you are looking to sell, or provide as a starting point for others?
Do you have a description written in English?
Do you really mean APL+Win version 2? That is very old. Current version is 19.

Does this repObj function still exist in Dyalog APL/W-64 version 18.2 ?

You used the right word in your subject line.
You want the "execute" primitive ⍎.

If your Y is a character vector like '2021', then you want
M←⍎'CAL',Y
If your Y is an integer like 2021, then you want
M←⍎'CAL',⍕Y

Ha ha -- the usual APL situation:
many possible solutions, quite different from each other.
Thank you, everyone.

Thanks a lot -- that will get me started.

How do I execute Win32 functions? For instance, in APL+Win I can execute the Windows GetTempPath function to query the user's temp directory with: ⎕WCALL 'GetTempPath' 128 (128⍴⎕TCNUL) 32 C:\Users\rex\AppData\Local\Temp\ How does one do this in Dyalog? (I am a very experienced APL programmer, but new ...

That's fine. Thanks a lot.
