Spaces are evil in directory names, try using quotes around the file name like this: FG_SCENERY="$FG_ROOT/Scenery:/media/sdb1/Program Files/FlightGear/scenery" If that doesn't work, fgrun needs to be fixed... Ron Note, you can use the quotes in .bashrc instead of the backslash as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
