The easiest way to deal with spaces is to use the 8.3 names in your paths.
>From the DOS CMD window, enter
    dir /x
and you will get the 8.3 names.  For example

dir /x/ad c:\pr*
cd c:\progra~1\R
dir /x/ad R-2.10.*

Based on this information, I can now write in R notation (with forward
slashes)
c:/progra~1/R/R-2.10.1
instead of the longer name "c:/program files"
