So, you are proud of your new Windows menu. Try working with a few
documents named with leading hyphens: "-Try this" for example. Lightspeed
C gets it right, even handling volumes named "-" correctly. Microsoft Word
botches it. Such files turn into illegible gray lines in the menu bar.

What happens if you have multiple files open, all with the same name?

My Windows1.1 desk accessory handles both of these gotchas.
