Subj : Using long directory names in Win 2k

I just downloaded the Borland command line compiler and started by trying to compile and run a small program that I know will run in C++.  I created a simple .cfg file and put it in the BIN directory where I was starting the compiler.  The compiler finds it just fine but apparently does not accept directory names that contain spaces.  I put a line in the .cfg file that contains the following -I G:\Program Files\borland\bcc55\bin\include.  The compiler came back with something like can't find directory Progr
am.  I tried enclosing Program Files with double quotes and that doesn't work either.

I know that the command window in Windows 2000 is not running a true DOS set of commands but surely there is a way around the 8.3 naming convention when running the Borland compiler.

Any help will be appreciated.
