You are very perceptive, Jim.  This was an extreme example, and actually 
your idea of tagging the op who recorded the file is something I hadn't 
considered.  With more and more Multi & "Guest Op" stuff going on, this is 
now even more important.

Thankfully Wayne enhanced WL to provide for a lot of the nifty capabilities 
(sorry I was such a Pest about this in the past but really believed in the 
need).  My recommendation just takes things to the next level of future 
possible uses thereof.

FYI, if I shortened a spacer file name from spc5.wav to s5.wav, I believe 
what would happen is that if S55AAA were entered into the callwindow, what 
would play would be:

<space><5.wav><a.wav><a.wav><a.wav>

You might try it :-)

But even with less than 82 characters being used, it is simply a royal 
pain-in-the-butt to not be able to see more of what's in the field.  The 
current dialog box was sufficient for most CW messages, but we are in a new 
dimension now with the expanded SSB message capabilities.

Tnx & 73...
