Yeah I know some ways to get around this with extended but I'm more into the vanilla-way-of-life =) I would love having a "quoting" method and/or an escaping character like \ . Of course I have no idea about the difficulty to implement that and I just found a message from Herr Puckette saying:
"I'm against adding a general escape mechanism, because I think it's better to find a design that obviate teh need for it..."
I still think that [open my\ file.txt( or [open "my file.txt"( is more elegant than dealing with a couple of messages and something like [addspace( in between though...
Cheers,

Currently, there is no way to do an escape. There is some discussion about trying to implement a "quoting" method that would allows spaces...
I attached an example of how you can convert a list of symbols (and numbers) into a single symbol, which would include spaces. It depends on an external from 'zexy' (part of the extended stuff).
