Rich,

I'm not taking sides in this too-heated argument, but my practice is to
make every variable and filename consist of the characters that in
ASCII would be 32 to 126, and except for underscore I never put
punctuation nor spaces in variable names and filenames. When somebody
sends me a file whose filename has spaces, I just delete it unless it's
important enough for me to remove all punctuation and replace spaces
with underscores. Unless I remember to quote every variable in every
shellscript, space or punctuation within filenames cause malfunction.
Life's too short.
