Is there any issue with a file and directory set up that includes a space ?

[Ralph DiMola]

I tell everyone not to use spaces or special characters. But allas  
cyberspace won. Even MS eliminated spaces in system folders.

Case sensitive file names also burn my a##. It's an accident waiting to  
happen. In my humble opinion case sensitive file names is one of those  
"Looks good on paper" type of things.

Having been bitten by this more times than several, I concur. But you
can't always count on users to follow this rule. So I'd expand that to
"don't ever do it yourself, but code defensively because there are
idiots out there driving on the information highway".
