Have you thought about how this would work? If your
filename has 16 characters in it (and probably
includes spaces, too, sigh...), then you would
have to check !16 different variations on the
filename to make sure you found it. The up
side is that you would have time to go get
a cup of coffee every time you performed an
interaction with the operating system. :-)

Cheers,

David
