Hi Bill,

Thanks for the quick response. I tried what you suggested, and I got the
following:

$ export AMBERHOME="H:/Documents and Settings/Lili/My Documents/amber9"
$ ls $AMBERHOME
ls: cannot access H:/Documents: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access and: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access Settings/Lili/My: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access Documents/amber9: No such file or directory

$ cd $AMBERHOME
bash: cd: H:/Documents: No such file or directory.

I tried it with single quotation marks ' ' and get the same results. Then
I put quotations around each directory like:

$ export AMBERHOME=H:/"Documents and Settings"/Lili/"My Documents"/amber9
$ ls $AMBERHOME
ls: cannot access H:/Documents: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access and: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access Settings/Lili/My: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access Documents/amber9: No such file or directory

$ cd $AMBERHOME
bash: cd: H:/Documents: No such file or directory.

Again, I replaced the double " " with single ' ' and it still didn't do the
trick. Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks for your help,
Lili
