I disagree. If you open an xterm and try to run the command
mkdir New Folder
you will get two folders, one name New and the other named folder.
If you use WinXP and create New Folder, then from an xterm do an ls, you 
will see New Folder, but if you try to do
ls New Folder
you will get errors saying that there is no directory called New and no 
directory called Folder.
To access directories with spaces from an xterm you have to do things 
like enclose the full name with quotes
	ls "New Folder"
or escape the space with a back slash
	ls New\ Folder
This is not what I call handling spaces just fine.
