Yeah, it is a very common problem. What you need to do is add this line:

 require ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH'] + '/lib/escape'

Then whenever you send a string to the shell, use the e_sh function to properly escape it. E.g.:

 path = "some path with spaces"
 dst  = ENV['TMPDIR'] || "/tmp"

 IO.popen("cp #{e_sh path} #{e_sh dst}", Š)

Thanks - I did that as my first solution, but then I realized that since the whole thing was going to the shell I could escape it by quoting it, just as I would do in the shell:

IO.popen(%{"#{ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']}/bin/Markdown.pl"}, ...)

or whatever. That seems to be working... m.
