Actually, it wasn't that hard to find...
You need to replace this line:
exe &= " " & path & name (Line 1993, in Editor.exw)
with this:
exe &= " \"" & path & name & "\""
So that the system will see this when you run a file:
ex.exe "c:\euphoria\dir with spaces\test file.exw"
It will also allow you to run files that actually have a space in the name,
not just in the path.
hehe, hope that helps.

I use the stand-alone version. I noticed this a while ago, but just
resorted to naming my files with no spaces. :)

Hehe... yeah, so did I...
Thing is, the problem is not due to long filenames, but just to how DOS (an=
d=20
bash, for that matter) handle arguments to a program.
A space is always taken as a separator between arguments, so if you do this=
:=20
./myprog c:\My Documents\myfile.txt
Then myprog sees two arguments:
"c:\My" and "Documents\myfile.txt"
However, you can put quotes around any text with spaces in it, and the shel=
l=20
will interpret it as a single argument. That's all the change did.
P.S. When associating files with programs in windows, eg associating .exw=
=20
files with exw.exe, the action taken upon 'Open' is best written like this:=
c:\euphoria\bin\exw.exe "%1"
The system automatically replaces %1 with your file name, so the inverted=
=20
commas surrounding it ensure that the file name is correctly passed to the=
=20
interpreter as a single argument.
