sql plus handling spaces...

Hi everyone,

I need an answer to a very urgent problem with sqlplus.
I try to launch (from a Java class) sqlplus or plus80, or plus80w, on
Win
NT, with the following command line:

sqlplus -s user/password @path\sqlfile1

The problem comes when the "path" includes spaces (for example
c:\program
files\myapp\sql\).
In this case sqlplus tries to load the file c:\program.sql !!!
I discovered that if I use single quotes the problem is solved for the
command line:

sqlplus -s user/password @'path\sqlfile1'

But, if the "sqlfile1" calls itself a new sql file like in

....
@@sqlfile2
....

which is supposed to use the same path like sqlfile1 (the caller),
again
sqlplus tries to find the file c:\program.sql

Is there any solution to this problem? Is it possible to load in
sqlplus a
file from a directory which has spaces in its name, and this file to
call
other files from the same directory (with @@)?

I will appreciate any help.
