   Terry:   No, but thanks for asking.
Win95a explorer (gui) gives the following error for a right click delete:
Error renaming file:     X   Cannot rename -_-_-_-_: Cannot find the
specified file.
Make sure you specify the correct path and filename.

Win95a explorer (gui) gives the following error for a right click OPEN
(in notepad,
and notepad works with-out errors otherwise.):
Cannot find the file
'C:\Program Files\Borland\Paradox
Runtime\PRIVATE\badbelow\badbelow2\-_-_-_-_.-_-'
(or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct
and that all
required libraries are available.
Note the two "parent" directories HAVE been re-named and cleaned out.
The directory "PRIVATE" and the files (that were) in it are part of a
commercial program.
