That's right. I'm going with the quick fix of some simple mods to
NDG which should get round this. NDG uses one_find_file to do its
interpretation of shell metacharacters, which takes a different approach
to rec1_find_file. This means I can switch of HDS shell expansion within
NDG and rely instead on one_find_file instead. The result will be that
apps based on NDG will be OK, but apps that use NDF_ASSOC directly will
still suffer from the "space in filename" problem.
