Subject: Changing directories with Bash?

Suppose I want to change dirs to \Program Files.  Unix (afaik) doesn't
allow spaces.  Is there any way around this?  I tried:
1. putting the " the microsoft has you put
2. "dir" and 'd' print out backslashes after every word in a long filename
(w/ spaces).  On a guess, I tried changing dirs with one of the seperated
(by a backslash) words.  THis works about 50% of the time.

Hmmm.  Anybody know?

Thanks,
Patrick
