Mike,
lynx and other apps dont have a problem. A filename can have anything
except a '/' or a null. The problem is the shell, ie bash or tcsh etc.
  Any basic unix book will have a chapter on this kind of thing, but in a 
nutshell, use double quotes around names with spaces, and single quotes
to stop more interpretations by the shell. See also the use of '\'.
