Probably something like:
abiword "$s"
as opposed to just
abiword $s
if you can specify the commandline to invoke the helper app. It may require
other fiddling with various types of quotation marks and backslashes, depending.
Or you could write a script that assumes it only ever gets one argument, and
will concatenate any "stray" arguments plus spaces. Won't work for multiple
consecutive spaces, but will probably work on more of the non-working docs.
