I usually do that myself since, if I recall correctly, back in the days of the
TRS-80 and MS-DOS using spaces wasn't even allowed so I persoanlly don't but
this tutorial is more tailored to people who are afraid of Linux. Kinda
bridging the divide. Thanks for the reminder though!

Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Possible bugreport needed?
Unix doesn't really like spaces in file or directory names to begin
with. There are some work arounds built into the shells like bash
and tcsh, but as Steve mentions, it's probably not a good idea to use
spaces, especially if you are using one of the older shells like sh
or csh. If you want to break up the monotony of long
filename/directories, in Unix an underscore works very well, like
My_Sieg_X3.ini.
