It should, but I am not sure. Actually, the "" feature is done at low
level, and I fear it will play badly with some packages. That's why I
avoided this.

The documentation is here:
http://www.tug.org/texinfohtml/web2c.html#_005cinput-filenames

Angus> [EMAIL PROTECTED]"/tmp dir//"}} \include{"sub [EMAIL PROTECTED]"} foo
Angus> \input{"sub dir/input.tex"}

The patch I did at the time purposefully avoided to handle the case of
file names with spaces in them. I decided this was not a territory I
was willing to explore. I did the minimal thing, which is ``allow to
typeset a file which is in a directory with spaces in its name''.

Angus> Also, does the \input not need the '@' similar to the \include?

Don't know.
