Problem

A series of GarbageI characters show on the Display after renaming a file from the List Files Screen.

Answer:

The file was being renamed to CON.PRI. This file is a DOS Reserved name. This is why the garbage characters were being seen on the screen.

Details:

This problem has been corrected in the WP Build Release 12/31/90. An error message will be generated instead of the garbage characters. The message will say "Invalid Filename".
