That should cause the Terminal to change to that folder
The other thing to do is to let the shell copmplete the name for you, thus type cd /jwb<tab> and the shell will complete the first folder for you, then type bi<tab> to complete bin and so on. That will ensure the spaces are handled correctly. HTH, Alan G.
