hi all,

first time cygwin user and im running into a problem when setting
location variables on a pc.  since the pc uses whitespace (like
c:/Program Files), setting a variable as a direction to this location
seems impossible.  how do you get tsch to parse the variable properly?
 i've been searching google for the past two days and can't find a
solution.  it would seem other should have run into this previously,
no?

and yes, please i've already heard all the arguments against
programming in csh and if i knew bash i'd use it.  thanks in advance
for not being *that* person.

cheers
christopher
