Weird Filenames

[FRAZIER%AFGLSC.SPAN at star.stanford.edu]

Perhaps the use of a pre-defined control character could be used
to precede an illegal character in a filename.  I am referring
to a method which was used on the Tops-20 systems by DEC.  For
those of you who aren't familiar with 20's,  a control-v preceding
an illegal character told the OS how to handle the character.  The C-V
was non-printing in directory lists,  but showed up in command lines
and command histories.  (Worked out rather nicely really.)

No flames about Tops-20's being trash ok?  It's a waste of disk space
and CPU...
