filePro doesn't seem to care (mostly) about their length.

Common wisdom indicates that labels, array names and aliases
(of LOOKUP, USER, etc.) should be of 3 or more characters to
keep them from being confused with dummy variables, but those
shorter don't produce syntax errors.

DECLARED long-name variables _must_ 3 or more characters.
