Same results as before, not passing the 2nd and 3rd parameters.

I put an echo in the .bat file to see the parameters, so here is the
results of the .bat file as it is called:

C:\JDR\Ruby>echo C:\DCPro\gs\gs8.14\bin\gswin32.exe  
C:\DCPro\gs\gs8.14\bin\gswin32.exe 
 
C:\JDR\Ruby>echo   
ECHO is on. 
 
C:\JDR\Ruby>echo   
ECHO is on. 
 
C:\JDR\Ruby>C:\DCPro\gs\gs8.14\bin\gswin32.exe -I -sDEVICE= -dNOPAUSE
print.ps -c quit

Here is the complete .bat file:
echo %1
echo %2
echo %3
%1 -I%2 -sDEVICE=%3 -dNOPAUSE print.ps -c quit


I do have 3 "puts" right before the system call so I can see that all
of the params have the values that I expect them to.

@@gsdir = C:\DCPro\gs\gs8.14\bin\gswin32.exe 
@@gsfontdir = C:\DCPro\gs\gs8.14\bin\fonts 
@@prttxt = cdj550 

Well, I'm back to the drawing board on this problem....
