1. Help - DOS related

I tried to make a Eu program in DOS that would make a file with a long
file name and spaces, but since it has spaces, i can't delete it! The
file was:
gosh what a long file name
and Eu truncated it to(in DOS 7.10):
gosh wha
Now i can't get rid of it because the del command stops and says:
Too many parameters - wha

Try DEL GOSH*.* - May work.

Put the filename in quotes.

del "a long file name with spaces.whatever"
