URIs MUST NOT HAVE SPACES

You can try a script that will actually produce a noticeable result:
open location "file:///System/Library/CoreServices/Help Viewer.app"

Yes!
But this line below also works, and with a space character in the last item:

open location [no break]
"file:///Users/philippe/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Jons Commands.osax"
--> open its dico in Apple's SE.

Do you confirm?


I get the same problem in a Terminal shell window to access to a program ("MathKernel") inside a local application package ("Mathematica 4.2.app").

The original string path format is:

":Applications:Maths:Mathematica 4.2.app:Contents:MacOS:MathKernel"

If I type in the Terminal after [bla bla ~] philippe%
/Applications/Maths/Mathematica 4.2.app/Contents/MacOS/MathKernel

Or:

/Applications/Maths/Mathematica 4.2.app/Contents/MacOS/MathKernel

'Command not found.' in both case.

I'm sorry but I don't understand what's wrong here...

Could you help me?

Thank you very much in advance!


Kind regards,
