No, the filename listboxes won't include names that start with a dot.  The 
fix is that, under Windows, you previously couldn't create, nor access, an 
existing file, in ddefine, if the filename contained a dot anywhere.  So, if 
you were to xfer "foo.bar" from Unix to Windows, ddefine would show the name 
in the list, but refuse to accept it, considering it an "invalid" filename. 
  (Back in 8.3 days, this made sense.)  All other filePro files would access 
the file just fine.

BTW, you can get to the "secret" file in ddefine by selecting "[NEW]" and 
typing the "secret" filename.  This doesn't help other programs, of course.
