Hi Jah.  Good points.  Though I think part of the problem is that the
current filenames aren't very well chosen.  I think we can find good
names which work as an ID as well as a filename.  And don't worry--we
aren't considering putting spaces in file names!  The goal is to be
consistent, descriptive, and short.  David and I are going to chat on
Wednesday to try and hash out these issues and come up with a good set
of names/IDs.  Of course the names won't be set in stone.  We can
always change them if someone comes up with better ideas.

Cheers,
