Authoring a new Racket book (targeting all platforms and non-programmers) 
and having to tell users to quote paths with spaces to be able to use the 
command-line tools seems distracting and an unnecessary complexity to 
impose on them.

>From a *nix perspective, it just seems like 'bad practice' to have folder 
names with spaces? Though, devil's advocate, I get that underscores or 
combined words can be unsightly, especially on a Mac where there are 
hard-core design people to contend with (I can hear them now, "It doesn't 
look nice in Finder" :-) but for Mac apps that have command-line tools it 
seems more common to not have spaces in the folder name leading to a bin 
folder.

Is there a particular reason why Racket uses a space in its folder name?

Cheers,
Stephen
