At the command prompt, whitespace is used as a delimiter. To treat whitespace as being part of a value, you must enclose the whole value in quotes.

myprog Albert Einstein

myprog "albert einstein"

In the above examples, the first treats albert and einstein as being two separate values, whereas the second treats "albert einstein" as being one value (the surrounding quotes are part of the value, but these can be removed programmatically if required).
