I use ac.jar frequently.

Good to know. I made it a hidden file, as expected on linux.

I fixed a bug in this area some time ago, but nothing else:

<http://applecommander.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/applecommander/AppleCom
mander/src/com/webcodepro/applecommander/ui/swt/SwtAppleCommander.java?vi
ew=log>

It looks like Disk#openFile()

<http://applecommander.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/applecommander/AppleCom
mander/src/com/webcodepro/applecommander/ui/swt/SwtAppleCommander.java?re
vision=1.22&view=markup>

asksDisk.getFilenameFilters() for the information needed to construct 
valid names & extension:

<http://applecommander.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/applecommander/AppleCom
mander/src/com/webcodepro/applecommander/storage/Disk.java?revision=1.29&
view=markup>

Let me know if you see something obvious. I've tried to tread gingerly 
on Rob's code largely to avoid breaking platforms that I don't use.
