  Sorry?, I don't understand...

: No, no, no !!! If you want space use alt-space. I'd very much like if

  I think the point was that space and hardspace would be used as the same
character whenever the filer was accessed i.e. if you use ALT-space then fine
but if you use space then the filer converts it to an ALT-space before using it.
  On the other hand, I agree that this could get confusing it some situations,
(I think I said that in my posting).
