It's probably just how you're quoting things:


lemur:~ fletch$ set "a b" c d
lemur:~ fletch$ select foo ; do echo $foo ; break ; done
1) a b
2) c
3) d
#? 

I could probably remember the zsh incantation to do this, but I don't
know what the bashism would be.  At least you know it's possible to do
something close. :)
