Thanks, Alex!

Yes of course. :-)  I was thinking though, what if the directory was the same 
but filename was different (a copy of the file), or the filename was the same 
but directory different (copy of file in different directory using same name).  
And I’m glad to hear they are still detected as the same file!  That should be 
added to that documentation sentence.  I’d do it myself but don’t know how.  Is 
it easy to make updates to the documentation?
