Thanks for the note...but I think you misread my posting.  I already 
pointed out that this:

  filename=two\ words

works just fine.  There's no need to resort to a $(spc) variable when a 
simple backslash escape will work.  However, the problem for which I am 
not aware of a solution is when you have files with names like:

  file one
  file two

And you want to perform wildcard expansion to get a list of these files:

  files=$(wildcard file*)

This won't work.
