  Derek:
      I feel this feature is of no advantage.
      If a user is using include files then they should be in the
      Euphoria include directory, this directory is used for
      DOS so it probably doen't have spaces.
      If you are giving a client/user a compiled or bound Application
      then the application is going to be launched by/from
      windows ( which will the directory ).
      Some users have written install programs, Are they going to
      then use spaces in their install programs ?
      What happens to the DOS users on the list that can only
      aford to use a version of DOS that doesn't supports
      spaces ?  What happens if they create a directory with a
      space in it with Euphoria.
      
      I have been waiting on the list for 3 years for improvements
      to be made to Euphoria and I do not think that these kind of
      features should be added until more important features are
      added such as :

      1. a better foward references solution   
      2. inline assembler
      3. a easier interfacing to other langagues.

      Of course that is my opion whether anyone agrees
      with me I don't know.
