OK.  I haven't yet pored through the Makefile.mk to even know if it has
an install target.  I'll look through it.

Odd.  I didn't have any trouble firing up the MPW Shell and Directory'ing
my way around when I did have the space in the volume name.  I know that 
you have to be careful about "{VARIABLES}", {{VARIABLES}}, 
"'vol HD:path:names'", and C<quote {VARIABLES}> in MPW but this is the first 
that I've heard that MPW places such a restriction on volume names.  I must 
have missed that in my reading.  I had thought that I had stumbled across 
a problem with a missing "" or double {{}} pair in the Makefile.mk.  
Thanks for the tip.
