does load the directory correctly. But as soon as you put the cursor into the directory acme changes the buffer header from "some directory name with spaces" to "some". Not supporting space in file/directory names has been the single biggest impediment to my use of acme.
I noticed Wily doesn't have this problem. Of course it is missing win, Edit, Tab, etc....
with the plumber running, issuing "B /anyfile" will open the file in
acme, even if acme isn't running. this is very useful when you start
scripting little tools.
