Maybe an alternative way to look at this would be for KA9Q to prompt for 
a filename whenever the "default" is not suitable under DOS. Then you 
could get some.really.long.file.in.lots.of.parts.1 through .n with a 
simple command like "mget some*" and give names for each file found. 

The obvious problem for this would be in scripts. However, if it were 
something which could be turned on/off it would be okay.

I'm not saying that prompting would be easier, btw - it's probably 
harder, there being no precedent for it in KA9Q already that I know of. 
Just another possibility.

Mark.
