This is true, but in order to put a funny character into a filename, it MUST be preceded by a ^V, the monitor will not accept it otherwise. Not quite the same as the Unix situation. 'Course, you've got to quote all sorts of characters over there, right off the top of my head, the list includes []<>.:,@ as well as more esoteric characters. (Actually, one dot per filename may be left unquoted.) =Spencer
