There's a problem with the report: >dialog=1.1-20100428-1 (lenny) does this correct; it gives > > a-1 a-2
I checked the history of the relevant code (dlg_add_quoted in util.c and
call_checklist in dialog.c) and see that I added the quoting feature in
mid-2008 - in its present form.
I just verified that there was no other factor that I'm overlooking by
recompiling 20100428 and running the example with that - and get
single-quoting for the output.
I also have Lenny running - it uses 1.1-20080316 (preceding the
quoting change).
However, something changed (not when the report says it did).
The particular change that appears to be of concern is the change
in dialog.c:
REV:1.174 dialog.c 2008/08/19 23:21:36 tom
tags: t20100113a, t20100113, t20100112, t20100110, t20080819
override the dialog_vars.quoted for checklist to set it true if there's
no --separate-output

At the moment I'm mulling over that change, to recall why it was needed.
