I tried to open an OOo text document by double-clicking it (I usually open it 
through OOo's open command in the file menu). OOo/X11 was not running at the 
time. The file resides on an external hard disk, pathname:

/Volumes/Extra HD/Documents/Stuff/Mo' Stuff/Articles/foobar.odt

Although OOo (and X11) started up fine I got an error message displayed by 
OpenOffice.org 2.0 in a dialog box:

sh:-c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"
sh:-c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file

The dialog gives the choice of two buttons "Edit" and "OK". If I click "OK", 
OOo quits and X11 is still running. If I click "Edit", Script Editor opens and 
displays an error dialog:

Open Dictionary

Unable to read the dictionary of the application or extension because it is 
not scriptable.

...with an "OK" button as the only option. After clicking "OK" then another 
error dialog pops up, still from Script Editor:

The document"droplet.rsrc" could not be opened. Script Editor cannot open 
files in the "Document" format.


Now I realize, I think, that the OpenOffice.org 2.0 file is some kind of 
Applescript thingy and those errors are Applescript related. But the real 
problem, I believe, is the apostrophe after "Mo" in that pathname. OOo can't 
deal with it. I get these errors when double-clicking on any OOo created file 
(or MS Office file) that is in that "Mo' Stuff" folder. I can double-click on 
any other OOo (or MS Office) file that's not in "Mo' Stuff" and OOo will run 
and open it. I can also open files from that folder through OOo's File->Open 
menu command. And I can create/save files in Mo' Stuff. I justs can double-
click to open them.

I usually find it easier to open files in that directory through the open 
command of OOo, but there are times when I have that folder open and I can't 
believe I've *never* opened an OOo file from there by double-clicking it; 
therefore I'm thinking I must've  double-clicked an OOo file before and it 
worked and that this is a new error in 2.0.3.

I've never filed an issue bnefore and may have done some things wrong.

Thank you!
