You asked for it :-) - I have a value of 0 in that byte. The bottom bit is the *Configure Truncate bit, which I always have set to Off. This gives the RISC OS 2 behaviour of giving an error if I try to save a file with a name above the length limits. With truncate set to On, the filing system doing the file creation just truncates the filename to whatever the limit on that filing system is. Owen.
