>Sorry I dont'understand you. I don't have a definition of string delimiter myself. I was talking about VFP's string delimiters. Why should it ever be different in evaluation depending on the delimiter used? Do you know somewhere that weirdness in behavior documented?

It is doc'ed somewhere, and I found that behaviour more of a feature than a bug,
as it enabled using the constants to string together long object paths to be Eval()ed.

On other occasions it might not have been wished for. Best of both worlds and keeping the header files DRY.
