If you have anything like “,=(); > \'"~&-” etc, you can expect most shell tools to erase you disk) Actually unix systems allow pretty much every character except / and the null character. Of course most shells require proper quoting of characters /they/ assign a special meaning to, as do programming languages. But that holds true for every OS and doesn't apply to the GUI at all. regards, Nikolaj Schumacher
