THANK YOU- 

It is always something simple now isn't it?

This got me going- 

I am now trying to make this work:

local VC_ROOT = [ modules.peek : VC71_ROOT ] ;

# the line below does NOT work-VC71_ROOT points to the same thing
# as the literal path on the line below
using msvc : : VC_ROOT ;

#this line NOW DOES work (with the space added at the end)
# using msvc : : "C:/Data/Rmtg/Root/_CLE/Compilers/MS/VC/V_7_01/" ;

(I am NOT using the bjam in CVS, but I am using the one released)

Also- what changes will I have to make when the new boost.build v2 is released?

Thanks guys, your responsiveness is awesome :)
