I encounter a dozen blank-containing names a day, but only from interacting with foreign systems. I find the current setup covers about 80% of what I need; fixing a few other simple things would probably get us to 99%. But upon reflection I don't think it's wise to push for blanks to be first-class citizens in file names. As long as we continue to use linguistic rather than graphical interfaces to most of our tools, that would be a mistake. -rob --upas-gtvahntgehtrsxxskbyfbulvvm-- --upas-hysbwqswxskaflauqaypshypxy--
