Sorry I only tested it with that one word, so it's not windows. I was definitely
wrong there.
However I just tried the problem file name like this .
write %3DGENERATOR "Stuff"
** Access Error: Cannot open /C/Rebol/3DGENERATOR.
** Where: write %3DGENERATOR "Stuff"
But these others all worked
>> write %4DENERATOR "Stuff"
>> write %5DGENERATOR "Stuff"
>> write %3DGENERATOR.com "Stuff"
>> write %3DENERATOR "Stuff"
It is bizarre it only happens with %3DGENERATOR
Cheers
