More.

Bb using chmod 7 *.odt and same *.pdf I am able to persuade common Linux
commands that they are ordinary files, to be manipulated as I wish. But
not if they have a space in their title. When I do

  $rm Test 1.odt

it comes back

  rm: cannot remove 'Test 1.odt': no such file or directories

Suggestions?
