Quoting James Goldbloom to Lawrence Gordon:
 LG>  DIM PATHNAME AS STRING * 81
 LG>  pathname = left$(pathname,instr(pathname, CHR$(0)) - 1)
 LG>  pathname = rtrim$(pathname)

JG> See?
JG> If spaces are allowed in certain operating systems, different rules

I'm not testing for blanks in the pathname, James. I'm testing for blanks in 
the pathname =variable=.
How about this:
pathname = rtrim$(left$(pathname,instr(pathname, CHR$(0)) - 1))
