Well, it's a shell thing... Unix itself doesn't have a problem, it just 
takes the agruments as \0 delimited strings in code. Its no different than 
the Command prompt in Windows which has the same problem.

In the shell you either put the complete argument in quotes or use \ for 
each space (or tab).

Speaking of tabs, did you know in unix there is no problem at all to use a 
tab character in you password? It's fun, try to login from a Windows 
box... that will teach the boys in Redmond...

Kind regards,

Henk.
