Wayne isn't being at all ridiculous.  As a real live commercial example,
consider "Sidekick".  I'm sure Borland has protected the name "Sidekick",
but the actual character string that starts it up (and the name of the
executable file) is "SK".  Now I'm SURE that there are lots of languages,
systems, etc. that use SK for something else, but that's irrelevant.
The name of the PROGRAM is Sidekick; the name of the file happens to be
the easy-to-type SK.

There are lots of other examples in the PC world:
	Wordstar   ...   WS
	Windows    ...   WIN
	....
just to name a couple.
