Directories with spaces

HI
I just installed wine and wanted to try some programs located in 'Program Files' of my windows partition. Is there a way to deal with the spaces?

TIA

If you want to start these Programms try wine "programm with spaces"
The Filename in "
But, you can't start the programms of your windows. You must install them in your "Fake-Windows-System" first.

Hello Blitzkrieg
Do you mean the spaces between the words in the name of the program that you wish to use? For example Microsoft(...space...)Excel?

If you want to enter a dir with spaces, lets say: program files. You'll have to enter

cd program\ files/

Im not sure if that is what your looking for though.
