hi all

I am trying to include a line like this in a program:

cd `gr1'

the problem is that the local gr1 is:

C:\Documents and Settings\Cancho\My Documents\Research

because of the blank spaces, this line never runs (always returns invalid syntax , r(198)). I have tried all the possible combinations of quotes and double quotes, but i couldn't make it work. Any idea or suggestion??? 

Thanks in advance,

Cesar
