One of the orig. requirments was immunity from access with Norton util.  One of
the things that Norton Change Dir. (ncd) will do, if you type a partial name,
is find the next dir. that is as similar a possible.  Thus, "ncd FOO" would take
you to the dir. without regard to the end of it's name.  It would also show up 
in an "ncd" map, so you could go right to it.
