Hi all,

One of the irritating things about computers that Mr Gateway and his 
minions never had the wit to fix was the handling of numbers in ordered lists.

For example, if you make a set of file directories numbered from 1 to 33, the 
MS system cannot keep them in order.

Getting up into the series, they will go 28  29  3  30  31  32  33.

Note the "3" in the middle of the tens series. And so it goes. I wonder if this 
is why the Olympus file numbering system puts an underscore in front?
_28  _29  _30 etc

Brian
