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 Prog
ram.  I tried enclosing Program Files with double quotes and that doesn't work either.

This is the wrong newsgroup for your question.
This group is for the pre-Builder series of compilers.
The compiler you are using is the commandline portion of Builder 5.
Therefore you should be posting in a group with cppbuilder in its
name.

Now for your problem.
You didn't show _how_ you used the double qotes, but this should work.
-I"G:\Program Files\borland\bcc55\bin\include"

p.s. please turn on line-wrapping in your newsreader.
Your message above is 2 lines, going far off the page, making life
difficult for those trying to help you.
