Hi Andrew,
I'm hoping you found something I couldn't.
I can't get any of these to work. I assume because there are ["] in the command line I'm trying to execute and RUN needs ["] to execute.

lc = [c:\Program Files\HTML Compressor\ahc.exe "myHTMLfile.html"]   
     ** Note parameter is inside ["]
run &lc
run "&lc"
run (lc)
run ('"'+lc+'"')

lc2 = ["]+lc+["]
run &lc2
run (lc2)

lc2 = [']+lc+[']
run &lc2
run (lc2)

lc = [c:\Program Files\HTML Compressor\ahc.exe 'myHTMLfile.html']   
     ** Note using ['] instead of ["]
run (lc)
run "&lc"

maybe there is some other combination that will work.
