[delete]

I have 2 questions about naming files and folders:

Is there any device or way to name a file or folder so that it goes to the bottom of a list in the Finder? In OS9, a tilde ~ before a file name would put it on the bottom of a list, in the Panther it goes to the top in both the Finder and in Open/Save dialogs. Interestingly though, if I view the same Finder window in Path Finder a file with a ~ goes to the bottom.

Another question is what puntuation can be used in naming files that is safe and won't conflict with anything Unix?

Thanks

Why don't you just put a "z" infront of the filenames?

As for punctuation I have yet to have any problems with any punctuation marks.

Try ? (opt-p), ? (opt-z) or µ (opt-m).

The restriction on file names is the same as OS 9 (no colons), but, if you want to be sure you don't have problems in Unix, don't use any forward slashes either. I haven't had a problem yet, though.
