	I am trying to do set a variable that includes spaces, but the
	set deletes them.
	I type:

	$ set t="Mon   5"
	$ echo $t
	$ Mon 5

	What happens is that the set deletes the extra spaces I put 
	in the set.
	How could I preserve the spaces?

	Any help will be appreciated.

	Thanks,

	Martha DasSarma
