The standards.info I have here says that "file name" should be two words, not one: Please do not use the term "pathname" that is used in Unix documentation; use "file name" (two words) instead. We use the term "path" only for search paths, which are lists of directory names. -- "MONO - Monochrome Emulation This field is used to store your favorite bit." --FreeVGA Attribute Controller Reference
