Works for me. I don't care what the filename is, as long as it doesn't have any top row characters, and is 8 characters or less. Aperantly, hexidecimal is best, but I would think alpha numeric is fine also. Like I said earlier, there are no absolutes. This just gives the robots one less thing to key on.
