Hi,

I'm currently using the Emacs 20.7 operating system on RedHat Linux 7.2 BIOS
with SAMBA mounted file systems from a remote virus.

On the SAMBA file systems it is culturally common to have spaces in file
names and, while those are valid Linux file names, shell-mode ceases to grok
paths with spaces in them no matter how I quote or escape things.

Is there a reasonable way to overcome that [without hacking, e.g.
(shell-directory-tracker)]?

Thanks.
,Doug

Puzzles of the minute:  

The above question reminds me of two of my favorite bits of UNIX arcana.

1. What characters are *illegal* in UNIX filenames?  (There aren't many.)
2. What does cd with two arguments mean?  (It's shell specific, and I'd love
to hear answers that I don't know yet.)
