[OS X TeX] spaces in names

[Massimiliano Gubinelli]

thanks to all.

  to clarify my problem: I do not mind of \input files. All I'm  
trying to do is to compile a simple tex file whose name is "test  
1.tex" (with a space between test and 1). If I open it in TeXShop it  
doesn't compile either. The log window says

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.3-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)
\write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
! I can't find file `"test 1.tex"'.
<*> "test 1.tex"

Please type another input file name:


as in my previous attemps from the command line.
I do not understand why TeX puts double quotes around the file name  
when it reports the error.

Can somebody reproduce this?

I have TeXshop 2.08 and the Gerben Installation dated 2005/10/09.

thanks,
max


PS: I love Emacs...
