Hi,
 
I'm just running into a little issue here.. I have a shell script where the path to the file contains a Space.. Int he terminal I simply wou go like this: File\ Name
However, when the command is in an AppleScript, as bellow then I get that there is an unknown identifier, wether I use "quote" signs or |vertical| signs
eg:  do shell script "rm /Users/myaccount/Documents/My\ Folder"
 
How can I go around this ?

Frank
