One additional problem with my scripts...

If filename has spaces games won't load (using just $1). If I change $1
to "$1" I get the same results...  If I try "\"$1"\" in order to have
quotes around the whole file path, none of the games load (spaces or
no).  Any hint would be appreciated.  BTW: I am using bash.
