wine

In linux when I use wine from the terminal it cuts of from a space. E.g.

when I put this
wine /mnt/windows/Program Files/ program to run
it ends at "Program".
How can I run a program in program files? what do I do about the spaces?

Thanx in advance!

The easy thing to do would be to use "Tab" as this autofills for you

other wise, "\ " will be a space. For example, "/Program\ Files/ "

Thanx for the tip. But I still get this error

Cannot Find '/mnt/windows/Program'

What should I do so I can run the program I want that is in Program files?

Thanx in advance!

Well if you only have one of those do this.

wine /mnt/windows/Program*

That should work, unless you have something else named Program_______

are you sure it's not something like:
"/mnt/hda1/windows/program\ files"

I got it to work. Instead of puting

wine /path/path

I am sopposed to put

wine.run /path/path...

Thanx for all your inputs.

Edit: I don't like typing in paths continuasly and using dir after I type a path then I type a longer path... Is there a way so I don't have to type alot. The tab key is very usefull but with long paths my fingers get tired of pushing continuasly. I heard of using cd but I don't know how to. What is a good way of navigating around files in the terminal without typing things over and over?

thanx in advance!

Code:
# cd mnt/hda1
/mnt/hda1# ls -l

program\ files
documents\ and\ settings
