They're awkward, especially when the programs don't automatically deal
with them. But yes, Florin's right; the spaces _are_ there for a
reason (as are the underscores) and I do need to find a workaround, as
I can't go blindly replacing either.
But it's definately given me a whole new view of filename sensitivity
(especially with doing these scripts).
