Sorry - I wasn't clear enough in my original explanation of the problem.
It is in the substitution of "APPNAME" that problems occur with hyphens.
In your example, the appname was "example", which doesn't contain
hyphens (so no problem) and you'd need to modify the st.cmd file by hand
to change to example_registerRecordDeviceDriver from
my-new-ioc_registerRecordDeviceDriver, also avoiding the problem.

If you use the same name for the app and the ioc, both with a hyphen in,
you'll see the problem.
