So, a suffix to the filename?

You are talking about convensions. That is OK. Let's call mod-files
something.mod, native screens for something.scr, text files for
something.txt or whatever, but don't impose this on the DOS! If
I for some reason wants to call a text-file for just "tjalabais"
without any suffix, or "tjalla.bais" I want to do that. A file
should be transparent for the DOS.
