I would rather use quotes (aussming Robert is correct that it works
too). The remaining path which isn't fully quoted is the path to the
java.exe. Does the script work for you, if you edit jython.bat and adds
doublequotes around the path to java.exe? In my installation it becomes:

"I:\JAVA\JDK1.3\jre\bin\java.exe" "-Dpython.home...

If that is enough, I will add it to alpha 3. Let me know.
