Hi,

Honestly, I don't know why people make such a song and dance about spaces 
in filenames.  I use them all the time and it doesn't bother me.

First, you can put filenames in quotes.

Second, you can escape the space (e.g. my\  file.txt)

Third, tab completion is your friend.  Once you get used to using it, it 
will usually sort out a lot of the space stuff for you.

Oh and if anyone knows how to get Lynx to stop replacing spaces with 
dashes when saving a file, I'd be very glad to hear it.

Geoff.
