Tim,
I've backed out of making any changes to HDS. Instead, I have
modified NDG so that it handles spaces in both directory names and file
names. I've been able to do this because NDG uses ONE_FIND_FILE which
takes a different approach to rec1_find_file. Within NDG, I temporarily
stop HDS doing any expansion of shell metacharacters by setting the SHELL
tuning parameter to -1.
This means that NDG-based application (e.g. KAPPA, and now CUPID) should
now handle spaces OK.
Part of this was adding a new function to one, ONE_SHELL_ECHO, which
expands all shell metacharacters in a supplied string, but without any
file globbing. This is needed to clean up names supplied for output files
(i.e. names of files which may not yet exist).
