I am trying to change directories to"Brooks & Dunn"
I know that I can use the " " for the spaces, but how do you deal with the "&"?
cd Brooks" "&" "Dunn <CR> Doesn't work.
Ideas?
If it matters, this is on Snow Leopard on a mac mini

You'll have to clarify things. If you're changing directories, simply double click the folder that you want to open. Are you scripting something?
