'
If you have a filebrowser open with underspecified directory fields '
(e.g. <LISP*>), the file browser window shows the files each with its directory.'
'
If you select some of them and bug Info, the Info window comes up displaying only the namefield, so you can''t easily tell which is which.'
'
Moreover, the columnation of the info window is such that long file names (including their versions) are simly written over by the first column of information.  I think this should be done by a TAB like operation that goes to the next line if the current lines X position is past the tab column.'
