I don't think spaces in filenames or foldernames on any platform is a
good idea.
They don't work on my webservers either.
Too many platforms don't like them, especially on networks. People
have gotten used to OS's that clean up after them but filenames just
shouldn't have spaces! I've ingrained myself with no-space habits for
years. Use underscore in place of spaces.
What do you do? Rename all the files with spaces!!

I now have an explanation as to why the shell in (Ubuntu) Linux
seems to work sometimes, but not others: the HD path to the
executable for launching MUST NOT CONTAIN BLANKS!
For example, this works like a charm:
global myVar
put "/home/bob/Desktop/folderwithnospaces/myprog" into myVar
set the defaultFolder to "/home/bob/Desktop/folderwithnospaces"
get shell(myVar)
This doesn't work at all:
global myVar
put "/home/bob/Desktop/folder with spaces/yourprog" into myVar
set the defaultFolder to "/home/bob/Desktop/folder with spaces"
get shell(myVar)
Exactly the same thing applies to the LAUNCH command.
Now what do I do?
Any ideas anyone?
Bob
