I believe this is an underlying problem in Tcl. Use the MS-DOS short
equivalent e.g

A File name.tcl = afilen~1.tcl

For NT, use dir /x to get the dos equivalent name.

Subject: [tkined] scotty 3.0 win32 cannot handle space in
fname

Hello,

there is a mistake in manager.tcl for the win32-version of
tkined.
It cannot handle spaces in filenames.

...
proc StartScript { fname } {

## set base [lindex $fname 0] does not work. Why use
lists?
set base $fname
set fullname [FindScript $base]

...

Regards,

Michael
