Try typing the filename as follows; Word1\ Word2\ Word3.avi Note the "\ " which denotes a space in Linux lingo... Also note you should be able to use Auto-Complete... type the first few letters of the word, then hit <TAB> and it should attempt to complete the word. Let me know how this works for you :) Gavin
