Keywords are reserved in the yacc grammar. But quotes around the keywords help in this case too: amrecover> cd "help" /home/paul/tmp/dirs/dir3/help amrecover> clue, here is the workaround: setdisk /home/files cd " MAGS" So why I can't use: setdisk "/home/files/ MAGS" is strange, but most important; it works!! You can't use "setdisk" in this case because is is not a DiskListEntry. The command "listdisk" gives a list of the entries possible for "setdisk" (in a recent version). After choosing the DLE with "setdisk" you have to navigate further with "cd" or "cdx". -- Paul @ Home

Hi Paul!

Being killed by your boss is not that bad as it sounds :-) Then, yes indeed, amrecover has trouble with spaces (or other strange chars in the name).
