About 1/3 of the source files, by a very rough count, seem to follow this recommendation. It seems redundant to me. I can't think of a good reason to name files like this, and would support removing the recommendation from the user guide unless there is a good reason. It leads to more typing, which is annoying. -- Ian Hinder http://members.aei.mpg.de/ianhin
