It is a reserved word from the DOS days (like "prn") I think it stands

Actually, you can't create a folder named:
CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7,
COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9
I have seen folders with those names. The "taggers" like to use them when
they break in to Windoze boxes, because they're a PITA to get rid of,
unless you know how.
It's just not possible to create folders with those names the "normal" way.
*Anything* is possible on *any* OS if you know what you're doing and how to
get around the restrictions that are in place.
