you can either do e.g., hcd 'Desktop Folder' or hcd Desktop\ Folder . i
prefer '' because then if there are other spaces you don't need to add
extra '\ ' to the pathname.
don't use something like mc or the such to copy TO you'll get all sorts
of errors. i would drop into xmon if i did something (dumb) like that.
documentation, well i don't know of any other than the man pages, which
in my opinion need, um, more info. it gives the impression the hfs(plus)
tools were a last minute thing.
(we need better tools - times like this i wish i already knew enough C to
write one up...)
well, don't despair, they're useful anyway, and u can also maconlinux if
your cpu is supported (PPC 604 and up).
