Dont know if it was good or bad.
What I know is that I ended up using trfs
because in the end 'this stuff' didnt work
as expected (think of acme and others).

Sure, it's not perfect, but I need no extra
options, and all the programs work as
expected (while at the same time they remain
using blanks all the times).

Does this suggest why quoting (prompted by a limitation
at the "shell" level) was the wrong idea?
