Just use Progra~1 for that... one of the minor(?) bugs in the NT command
processing is that you can't actually pass parameters to commands that you use
spaces... if you're not actually passing parameters then it'll work fine.

cmd /c ""c:\program files\windows nt\dialer.exe""   -- works

cmd /c ""c:\program files\windows nt\dialer.exe"" "test parameter" -- doesn't
work

Maybe it's fixed in XP...  if you have access to an XP build try the above
commands and see if they work.

The side effect is that cvsnt handles spaces just fine, but only if you don't
want to send any extra parameters with quotes in them...

DEFAULT ""c:\program files\windows NT\dialer.exe"" $CVSPID $USER 

... works, but

DEFAULT ""c:\program files\windows NT\dialer.exe"" %{sVv}
