Windows also chomps a name that ends with a space but Macintosh won't and those files are untouchable to Windows users but this becoming a universe when all are welcomed and their are some things that make it easier for us all to do the Rodney King thing and get along. You'd be surprised how many Macintosh users end their file names with a space. Craig
