bash & filenames with spaces

- Subject: bash & filenames with spaces
Bash won't allow me to cd to a directory with a space in it. The FAQ
implies that all that is necessary is to escape the space, but whether
I type (e.g.):
cd /c/Program\ Files
or
cd '/c/Program Files'
I get a message:
cd: Program: No such file or directory
Am I missing something obvious here?
