- I have my own setup which is similar to that outlined by Aaron Sloman
- for the specific purpose of being able to start up with several files
- at once as Tim suggests:

- I completely agree with Tim here. Editing files with spaces in should
- be accomplished through the usual mechanism of quoting the space e.g.
- ved 'silly name'
- rather than creating an idiosyncratic argument interpretation as ved
- currently has. I've been running with the mechanism Tim asks for
- and I have encountered no problems. In fact, I'd post my code here
- but it seems superfluous after Aaron's detailed exposition!
-
- In fact, I agree so much with Tim, I'll submit a bug report on it ....
