> So what happens when you drawterm from a un*x box or access a VFAT partition?
nothing. i'm running ken's fs, so from drawterm i have ; echo > 'silly file' ; lc silly* 'silly file' ; cd /tmp ; echo > 'silly file' silly file: rc: can't open: 'silly file' create/wstat -- bad character in file name > Un*x seems a harder issue since no character is actually illegal, \0 is illegal. well, not so much illegal as impossible to specify. (wide characters notwithstanding.) - erik
