escaping DOS

[Ryan Powers]

Here's a new one in my big book of bugs. End-user created a Windows
username, e.g. Jon&Jane

Does anyone see a problem there? We have a program that calls filePro and
uses the %tmp%, i.e. c:\users\Jon&Jane.
It turns out that ampersands are illegal in DOS. I tried to escape it, as in
Jon\&Jane but that doesn't work either. Are escapes even possible? 

I've posted here first since this might enlighten other filePro users.
