Subject: "Append memo" syntax

I'm working on some code that will update my DBC and noticed that the code generated by the GenDBC utility includes this line:

APPEND MEMO Code FROM [ABC.krt] OVERWRITE

However, both VFP Help and one of books does not mention the need for text delimiters in the command, and based on the syntax shown, I would think the command should look like this:

APPEND MEMO Code FROM ABC.krt OVERWRITE

Obviously, the first line works, since I've run the GenDBC code in the past, but is this an inconsistency in the literature, or am I misreading the purpose of the square brackets? I was going to use the GenDBC example to generalize an update function using a variable for the file name, and I didn't want to take the wrong approach.
