[OS X TeX] Filenames with spaces (was: Number of pages with AppleScript in TeXShop)

[Maarten Sneep]

Hi,

Replying to one's own messages, I'm terribly sorry- and top posting  
to boot. I have another question[1] while debugging my scripts: What  
is the official syntax when one want to input or include a file in  
tex or in latex?

[1] the rest of the discussion isn't really needed to answer this  
question.
