What is beginning to baffle me, is why we even have file titles. They

I have not researched this, but I've got my theory. I think you will
not like it though:
1. We've got titles because MS Word has them
2. MS Word has titles because once upon a time, when competing
products to Windows had long filenames with spaces, and without
ugly extensions, Microsoft wanted to have a stop-gap solution
to help users who were confused when they had hundreds of documents
named LETRRAL.DOX, LETR1V2.DOC, NEWLETR.DOC or similar. Therefore
they came up with "Document Titles".
I believe you are correct. Why/when then did Word stop using them?
