We are having some trouble with spaces in FTP "file names".  We have
searched thru the 3000-L archives and have tried such suggestions as
\space and _20_ as ways to get a space into the first parm of an MGET.
The EDI ftp site we are accessing squeezes some filters into the first
parm (file name) so it wants something that looks like this:

  MGET "*.* settype=ORDERS";REC=-80,1,F,ASCII

MPE's ftp client won't pass that space (thinks it has something to do
with a file equation?).  We tried:

  MGET "*.*\SPACEsettype=ORDERS";REC=-80,1,F,ASCII

but by turning on DEBUG in ftp, we see that it doesn't replace the
\SPACE with a space character.  We also tried lower case "\space" but
that didn't work.

Anyone know how to send a space at this location in the string?
