Doesn't anybody know about this?  The "trick" to deleting filenames with 
spaces is to use quotes.  This works on ALL OS/2 commands and all DOS 
commands compiled using a C or C++ compiler (that I know of).  Surround 
the command-line argument with quotes and the program will interpret 
those words as a single argument.

i.e., typing

del "ea data. sf"

will delete the file "ea data. sf".  This way you can also use 
multiple-word directories under OS/2 (but only if you don't plan to use 
them with DOS, since OS/2 automatically classes them as OS/2-only).  
Although it's easier to use hyphens or underscores.  Whichever.
