 Hi,

 In 6.5svn I've just checked in an update which quotes all variables and it
 should work better when there are spaces in pathnames now.

 specifically, ${} is not enough to protect against spaces when used as a
 command line argument.

 this makes two directories, a/ and path/
 {{{
 foo="a path"
 mkdir ${foo}

 ls
 rmdir $foo
 }}}



 (I'll merge it to the other branches this evening once I get the chance)
