It does mention in the FAQ something about problems with directories
and files with spaces in them; however, when I do:

cd Program\ Files

OR I do:

cd "Program Files"

I don't have any problem with going to the directory.  BTW, I'm using
NT4SP3 and I'm using the 1998-12-3 build of the cygwin1.dll.
