Details:

I spent an evening entering four vectors with 25 values each in the Editor and
then tried to save the results to the filename 2018-07-30-vectors.*.  Octave
gave me an invalid filename error, stating that it was not a valid Octave
filename, and Octave could not read the file later.  I searched the PDF manual
with Adobe Reader advanced search, and there is no definition of a valid or
invalid filename.  This is why I prefer commercial packages.  They give
thought to what it looks like to someone trying to learn from the manual for
the first time.
