Hey Mark (& John, I guess),
I won't claim to know as much about Linux as Civileme, but I've
picked up some things in the past year & a half on RH 6.0. To
open a file like: This File in, say pico, do this:
$ pico "This File"
You just need to add the quotes to any file or directory with
spaces. Dunno about opening with Wine, as I'd had no luck
getting it to run in RH.
Good luck,
Meph
