Chris,
As far as I understand, though, not all shell scripts will accept
those paths. It's still better if all your files and folders' names
include only 7-bits ASCII and no space. :-)
If you have any real example of a shell command that won't accept a
properly quoted POSIX path from AppleScript, file a bug. As far as I
know, there aren't any. The 7-bit ASCII problem was fixed in
AppleScript 1.8.3 -- it had to do with a disagreement over the text
encoding to use. Spaces and shell meta-characters are what "quoted
form" is for.
Well, that's what I thought, but I have a user whose disk is called
called "disc trhs dur" (I'm sure the mail server will screw this up).
Anyway, it's an accented "e" like [e`] and I can't address it with a
properly quoted POSIX path. Spaces an other chars work though.
