Hyphens are easier than underscores to type and only slightly more difficult to type than spaces. -- Robert Riches spamtrap42(a)verizon.net (Yes, that is one of my email addresses.)

Why use such a long name, when "Recipie" suffices, and is much easier to type? BTW, I hate this stupid "my ..." naming scheme. It make the UI look like it is for an idiot. Do you label your luggage case "my lugguage" when traveling? -- Lee Sau Dan §õ¦u´° ~{@nJX6X~} E-mail: danlee(a)informatik.uni-freiburg.de Home page: http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~danlee --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net ---

You do know that your likes and dislikes are not universal? IF all you ever use is a gui to select files, then making the title of the file into a descriptive sentence can be useful. If you use the command line it is a total pain and you constantly have to escape the white space. And have to type a lot. But on a gui typing is not required.

I agree. It's one of the factors that gave me an instant dislike of perl! -- Chris F.A.
