In VFP Help, take a look at ???.

This works but I have found one gotcha. Although the help says you can send any character, there is one character that won't go (I forget the exact character but I think it is / or \). The solution is simple, use a STRTRAN to convert to \\ or // before ???ing. I suspect the issue is that the character in question has a special meaning in the C function VFP is using and needs to be "escaped" to get it to pass through.
