   Unfortunately it doesn't work:   
   It is like this:   
   [H:\]dir ercole*   
     4-09-04  6:51p        81,972      0 ----  Ercoleá-áCaco.jpg   
      
   [H:\]dir Ercoleá-áCaco.jpg   
   SYS0002: The system cannot find the file specified.   
      
   [H:\]dir "Ercoleá-áCaco.jpg"   
   SYS0002: The system cannot find the file specified.   
      
   [H:\]dir "Ercole"?"-"?"Caco.jpg"   
     4-09-04  6:51p        81,972      0 ----  Ercoleá-áCaco.jpg   
      
   so, the accented letters seems to cause the problem   
      
   the strangest thing is this:   
   [H:\]copy ercole* ercole_and_caco.jpg   
   Ercoleá-áCaco.jpg   
   SYS0002: The system cannot find the file specified.   
      
   So, the system finds the file, but then something goes wrong when    
   interpreting the file name.   
      
   I see that the date of the file is somewhat old. Since that time, I    
   migrated from eCS 1.1 to 2.0. Maybe some difference in the codepage    
   could confound the OS?
