Ahh... I once got bitten by such, and since then I always surround my
arguments with double quotes in scripts. I find it just as easy to
type and to read as the braces people usually put in.
Speaking of, by the way, I wonder why almost everybody I've seen who
digs smart xterm titles uses the cd trick instead of something like:
PS1_SIMPLE="\h: \w "
PS1="\[\033]0;${PS1_SIMPLE}\007\]${PS1_SIMPLE}"
