Sure- you should be OK by just adding a couple of quotes
dir "\wherever
ame with spaceswhatever"
pretty much the same for any command line work when you use spaces

It's a great tool for me, with one exception, many of the directories on my
machine and on our network drives have spaces in their name. I'm assuming
that it's the old DOS naming conventions that prevent me from getting a list
of files in a directory with a space in the name.
Is there a way to get around this without re-naming the directories?
Thanks,
