I've been seeing a strange thing with TOS lately.  When I try to drag a
directory containing a directory called ".bak" to the trashcan, I get a
message:  "Invalid copy operation".  To duplicate it:

	(I'm doing this thru GEM, but I'll give unix-like commands :-)

	cd c\
	mkdir junk
	cd junk
	mkdir .jnk
	cd c\

	Now, try dragging the folder "junk" to the trashcan...

Is this a bug, or something that isn't legal?
On a honest-ta-goodness-IBM-like-ms-dos-machine, it doesn't allow ".jnk" to be
created...

If you cd \junk, you can drag ".jnk" to the trashcan with no problems.

Comments?  Is there a "formal" way to submit a bug report to Atari?
