Hi Gang, I have been working around this problem for years now and finally
decided I should ask the experts.

Why won't Frame 7.1 allow me to make hyperlinks to files starting with
some letters? Letters like F and T. The syntax that I'm using is:
message openfile reference\FestoCylinderClamp.pdf

Somehow the \ is reacting with the F and causing the syntax to
automatically change to:
message openfile referenceestoCylinderClamp.pdf
With some other letters, it doesn't change, just doesn't work.

So instead, I have to rename the file and make the link:
message openfile reference\pFestoCylinderClamp.pdf

Im a lone writer (yea, at Goodyear) and have tried asking the coders. No
help. Can you help?
