st: winexec on Stata for Linux

Hi all,
. sysuse auto
. sc weight mpg
. graph export foo.eps, replace
With Stata for Linux, I can type
. winexec xdg-open foo.eps
into Stata's command window to view the file "foo.eps". However, if the
filename contains a blank,
. copy "foo.eps" "fo o.eps"
-winexec- seem to be not able to open the file. I tried:
. winexec xdg-open fo o.eps
. winexec xdg-open "fo o.eps"
. winexec xdg-open fo\ o.eps
. winexec xdg-open 'fo o.eps'
but non of these produced any output at all (i.e. no error messages, no
messages from the shell, nor any window popping up; just the Stata
prompt.). On the other hand each of the following commands open the
file:
. shell xdg-open "fo o.eps"
. shell xdg-open fo\ o.eps
. shell xdg-open 'fo o.eps'
However, because I don't want Stata to wait until I close the
eps-viewer, I would like to use "winexec" to open the file. (xshell
behave like winexec)
So here's my question: How can I open an eps-file with a filename
containing blanks in the background?
Information about my system is shown below my signature
Many regards
Uli
