hmm, for spaces, that seems to be correct.

But that just proves the point; spaces in filenames are evil :)

I learned unix on a cluster PDP-11 over three decades ago, and I'm still

There are other things, however, notably environmental variables, that do
not get escaped in the weak quoting of double quotes.

careful;  OSX defaults to tcsh, not bash.
