I discovered the problem with my Amiga. I run VT100 which gladly excepts the
right arrow in a file name, but the Amiga's OS will trash the disk.
Strangely, it does this, not when it creates the file, but later when reading
or writing other files and updating the disk structure. At least, that's when
it reports "Disk has a read/write error".
