Topic:
IESX does not recognize directory name that has a space as one of its characters.

Description:
IESX does not recognize the  full directory name at the unix level if it has a
space in the name.  IESX will not load anything from that directory into a
project.    

Solution:
Some data transfer applications will create directories with a space in the name
without giving a warning message.  You can change the directory name so that
IESX recognizes the directory, finds the file, and loads the data.

Example:
A data transfer operation or User creates a directory called "triple a" on the
disk.  A long listing shows this directory, and the space in the name.

raisin:drp> ls -l
drwxrwxr-x    2 drp      gqs          512 Sep  9  1999 triple a

The best course of action is to move (rename) the directory with the space in 
the name to a directory where the space is replaced by an underscore.  This is
accomplished using single (forward) quote marks.  (These marks indicate that the
enclosed string is one entity.)  To change the name in the example, use the command:

mv 'triple a' triple_a

This command replaces the space with an underscore in the directory name.

raisin:drp> ls -l
drwxrwxr-x    2 drp      gqs          512 Sep  9  1999 triple_a

ESX will no longer be confused by the directory name.
