There's a much simpler solution.
You can work with files with spaces in their names
using DOS internal command, putting double quotes
around them, e.g.,

DEL "BAD NAME. XX"
REN "BAD NAME. XX" BAD_NAME._XX

etc.

At least in DR-DOS 7.03 (don't know about OpenDOS 7.01;
this is a feature of COMMAND.COM).

About undeleting: DR-DOS UNDELETE seems to wrognly
display such names -- it stops at the first space,
and fails to undelete them, in fact.
