Hello.

I have a problem that I feel difficult to solve.
Assume a filename is in a file "foo"
Then rc script
	name=`{cat foo}
will mostly succeed in copying the filename to "name" but for some  
exceptions.

For example:
	echo 'abc    def' >foo
	name=`{cat foo}
	whatis name
The output result is:
	name=(abc def)

I want to have a shell variable such as:
	name='abc    def'

How to do?
