I have to be missing something here.
For instance, I use pdf2ps and it does not accept the slightest space
in the file names, including when quoted. Do you mean "[...] any real
example of a shell command *included in the standard installation*
[...]"?
Let me put it this way: if you can get the command to work from the
Terminal with proper quoting, then using it from AppleScript with
"quoted form" should also work. (As it happens, I have Ghostscript
installed myself, and I used pdf2ps on a file with spaces in the name
with no problem. I'm not sure what your difficulty is.)
