I was wondering, do you know why a 'lowercase' period isn't a space (as it
is in AppleWorks)? It seems that could have been done...

That would have allowed names like : "Basic System" and "System Setup" etc
instead of the somewhat clunkier "Basic.System" and "System.setup"

My employer pays me well. This, however, does not mean he agrees with me.
I wrote Z-Link & BinSCII. Send me bug reports. I use a //GS. Send me Tech Info.

I wouldn't mind having lowercase-period = space myself.  I don't know why
it was decided against, but I'm sure that's the sort of thing engineering
considered.  I'll bring it up sometime & see what they think.
