set directories with spaces

[Simon Lord]

Doesn't work either.

Under most Unices you would use quotes to close the filename:

cd /Volumes/"Mac OS X"

This works if I run it through shell(), but that's not what I'm 
trying to do.  I want to set the directory internally to MC, 
driving me a little nuts at the moment.
