Enclose the path in braces (Kermit string quotes). E.g.
send {c:\My Documents\Some File.doc}
I try to avoid spaces in names for exactly the reason that names with
spaces are hard to parse correctly. In those few cases where windows
seems to coerce me into using names with spaces (e.g. the "Program
Files" directory), I use the MS-DOS name instead. This would normally
be the first 6 non-blank characters of the name followed by "~1" (or
"~2" etc. in case of conflicts). E.g.
send c:/mydocu~1/somefi~1.doc
Note that forward slashes can be used as the windows program interface
supports them even though things like command.com don't.
