Subject: using '&' as part of the command passed to IO.popen

Hey folks,

I'm having a problem calling a system command where
one of the parameters happens to contain an ampersand
(&).  Popen apparently sees this as a command
separator, right?  I've tried replacing it with \046,
but it gets processed before being passed to popen. 
Anyone have any ideas?
