Nope. Can't be done with csh :-(. But you have the source, so if
you fancy "fixing" it I'll gladly have the patches off you :-).

I have written a mod to csh to allow filename completion to work
correctly if the file or directory name(s) contain spaces (especially
useful if you have Windows on you PC as well, Program Files etc).
