Odd behavior with file with spaces in its name

[ram535]

When I run this program in the terminal:

 okular Introduction\ to\ Recursive\ Programming.pdf

It runs normally, but when I run:

' okular Introduction\ to\ Recursive\ Programming.pdf'run;

It behaves like if I run something like this:

okular Introduction
okular to
okular Recursive
okular programming.pdf

So the parser in dshell isn't smart enough to handle a file name with spaces. Let me have a look at improving the parser.

I've just published 1.0.42 with a fix for this issue. Instead of using \ just quote the argument. e.g.

'okular "Introduction to Recursive Programming.pdf"'run;
