In using RENAME,  characters drop out of the new filename - although the prompt window echoes correctly.  '

We have saved your messages about the file browser in our AR bug report database.  Unfortunately, there is noone assigned to maintain the File browser, so it probably will not get fixed soon.  Thank you for reporting the problem.'
