Uh...well...sorry, no. If you do exactly what you said:
vi "foo bar"
you will create a file named "foo bar". In fact, this is what you have
to do when dealing with an SMB mounted FAT/FAT32 filesystem; find scripts
no longer can simply do things like:
find . -print | xargs plugh
because of the spaces being expanded.** Instead, it becomes something like
find . -exec plugh "{}" \;
if you don't mind beating up your system, or some other option to xargs to
let you do the same thing, but I don't feel like looking it up right now.

I may give, too, unless they're flat-out wrong.
