I'd have been happy if WPS allowed you to give files short "real" names,
with a longer descriptive name on the desktop (that way DOS/Windows
apps could still see the files, while I could still use long names).

(Strangely enough, PC Tools for Windows manages this fine - so it can't
be all that difficult).
