Well, thank you for telling me to "get used to it". But I do
not generally obey unreasonable commands.

Now, please tell me how I can edit a bunch of grep'ed files with
spaces in their names, as in "vi `grep -l xxx *.txt`"
If I can use IFS then please give an example.

If you can quote POSIX etc and give an authoritive answer to
all things that matter then surely it wont be too difficult?
