[Ham-Mac] Lesson Re-Learned about filenames

[Dick Kriss]

The two applications that could not deal with the slash in the filename were
fldigi and tqsl.  Fldigi is Unix application that runs on Windows, Linux or
OS X and tqsl is PC application ported to run under OS X.  I have learned
to avoid the use of the slash in filenames.
