It is explained in the DJGPP FAQ list (section 16.3): you need to include
the @ character in single or double quotes. For example:
myprog "@myfile.txt"

Thanks a lot for this encouragement! You mean that it's not enough that
I did all that titanic work of assemblying the FAQ together, I now need
to reply to all those who don't have the patience to read it, right?
Seems that they are right when they say that no good deed goes
unpunished,.
FWIW, there's an index near the end of the FAQ which is the right tool to
find the info in the FAQ. Or is the index ``ridiculously long'' as well
for your taste?
