Thanks for these tutorials, they are fun. One question on the rm command. I was using a file that had a space in the title and can't get the rm command to see it. If there are no spaces in the name, everything works fine. How can I get the terminal to recognize a file name that contains a space? I've been searching the man pages but can't seem to find the answer.

  I found the answer in the second tutorial. Add a backslash directly after the word that precedes the space.
