Spaces in Environment Variables

[Jesse Hogan]

If I set environment variables to paths that have
spaces in them they don't work right with common shell
commands. Does anybody know a work around for this?

For example:

--SHELL--------------------------------------------
$ PF="/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files"
$ export PF
$ cd $PF
: cd: /cygdrive/c/Program\: No such file or directory
$ ls $PF
ls: /cygdrive/c/Program\: No such file or directory
ls: Files: No such file or directory
--SHELL--------------------------------------------
