But all this is semi-autmoatic in decent shells. type your command and the first few characters of the path and then hit <TAB>. The shell will complete your path as far as it is unique and will automagically escape characters correctly for you. Finally, in your own interest, please don't hijack threads -- If you have a new topic, don't reply to another topic's mail but create a new mail. Otherwise many people will not read your mail, especially on a crowded list like this one. I for an example only read the subjects and dive in on a few if the subject sounds interesting or there are no replies yet.
