I had an interesting bug appear yesterday. There was a file on my Mac partition
that was named .openwin-menu that I wanted to move to A/UX. While under mac24,
I dragged the file as I normally would have from the Mac partition to the A/UX
parition, and then, MacsBug popped up with an exception. I tried this numerous
times, and the same error popped up. Renaming the file to just openwin-menu
allowed me to move the file successfully.

Is this a documented problem in the A/UX 2.0 manuals (I have the 1.0 manuals,
but since Va. Tech moved to using Amiga 3000's for CS students, I can't get
my hands on 2.0 manuals)? If not, has anyone else moved a file beginning with
a . successfully under A/UX 2.0.1 mac24?

	Thanks,
	   Craig
