Ahh, quite. This is addressed in the FAQ, but essentially is
this: Palm OS only allows a few characters for the filename, and thus I
limit you to that number (minus a couple for my own use). I coudl allow
you to use longer filenames, and then just munge it down into somethign
that fits into the PalmOS space, but then you'd have a hard to finding the
file on your desktop and doing other things with it, so I ruled that out..

So the filename is something I cannot fiddle with much..

... Lorane, I suppose the font you use is more slender than the standard? How readable is it for general use?...
