Using pathnames with special characters

Hi!

I'm implementing a freeware that needs to send tasks to the OS using pathnames as arguments. However, on difficulty
that I encounter is that Darwin will not recognize a pathname on the form "/folder/another folder/ some file name.whatever" since it contains special characters (blanks). Since my freeware requires users to choose their own files, I would need to make the system understand each and every possible pathname. The browser has no problem dealing with them, and I am sure it is a trivial issue, but I am stuck. Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks a lot in advance!
