[Ti] file names at iDisk

[Wayne Swingle]

I don't know what to do about the log-on problem, but a workaround for 
the long file names would be to create a Stuffit archive called Call 
Reports for example, and then drag your files into that archive.  When 
your colleague downloads the archive, he/can unstuff the file to their 
original names.

Cheers,
Wayne Swingle
