- I agree. Except that I think OS/2 would be a little easier to use
- (even for new users) if all " " (spaces) mapped to "_" underlines in
- the file system. I t would only take about two minutes of looking
- around the hard drive to figure out this system, and it would save
- confusion about "how do I get here if the file name has a space in it."
- I've taken all the spaces out of everything except OS!2 Desktop because
- they annoy me as a command line fine.
