Sorry for not providing an example.  Some of the filnames are greater than
80 characters, but mostly it's the date and size added to it.  I can add a
pipe and space them so that they look alright.  Using shorter filenames is
possible, but I'd have to go through a lot of files to shorten them
(probably about a thousand including the music videos).  Mostly, the names
are really descriptive, with the fansub group, the filename (usually in
romaji and as long as they need to be to give the name of the show) and a
checksum.  I can probably live with the few with long file names, I'll just
prepare for the ones with the date and size to be on a seperate line below
and to the right (mostly) of the filename.  Thanks for the suggestion, and
yes adding /T to the keyword and filename listing works just great.  I still
have the majority of the language prompts to turn into ansis, but I've got
most of the ones that I use doing so.
