This is not exactly a bug, more of an anomaly, on how TSRE5 treats DynaTrax path entries on saving a route as compared
with MSTS RE.

1. On saving a world file, MSTS route editor adds double quotes to any DynaTrax path which does not have them.

2. On saving a world file, TSRE removes any double quotes previously in DynaTrax paths (the opposite of MSTS RE).

3. In principle, the difference does not matter. Both MSTS and OR seem to work without problems whether DynaTrax paths
are in quotes or are not in quotes.

4. However, a problem arises when Route Riter is used to "Check Route". It gives missing shape file errors for any
DynaTrax paths not in quotes.

There is thus a problem with RR. However, at this stage of the game it is unlikely that anything can be done to get RR
modified in order for it to accept unquoted DynaTrax paths. However, it might be possible for TSRE to be modified to act
in the same way as MSTS RE by adding quotes to DynaTrax paths where needed. Is this feasible?

Perhaps this is one for Goku.
