Summary: symbol-box does not escape 'space' characters with '\'

Initial Comment:
I just noticed, that one now can type spaces into a symbol box. This is great!!

In some cases such symbols break and are not interpreted as symbols any more due to the lack of the escaping character. 

case 1):
send [symbolatom\ - [label $1( to a iemgui object and make sure, that you type a space. Save the patch and open it again. The properties of the iemgui cannot be displayed any more.

case 2):
send [symbolatom\ -> [send $1( to a [netsend] and make sure to type at least one 'space'. The [netreceive] on the other side will receive it as a message with more than one elements

Both cases could be fixed, if the symbol box would automatically pre-pend each ' ' with a '\'.
