I just had a debate with someone over whether files "should" contain

what the space [bar] is FOR. He says no, because it confuses lots of
shell scripts and other code, and can do bad things like wipe you
hard drive! :-D
Of course they can.
If it confuses shell scripts, then they have bugs in them. ;-)
I had a similar discussion with someone once, about starting file
names with a hyphen.
She thought that should be illegal. Tough noogies.
In general, XCode handles files with spaces in them just fine.
