Hi guys - Ok, so I wrote a little script to replace my "locate" command:

#!/bin/bash
for i in `/usr/bin/locate.orig $1`; do
~  ls -l -h --color "$i";
done

I renamed my original locate command to locate.orig [oddly enough], and 
I'm calling it via " ls " with the formatting that I like.  Here's my 
latest quandry:  When it displays a file with a space in the name, it 
breaks the $i variable into two peices.   For example, I end up with 2 
$i variables as such:
"My Documents"  would become "My" on iteration 1 and "Documents" on 
iteration 2.

Is there a way to fix this, or can anyone explain why it's doing this?

Much thanks,
- -CB
