Did some testing on XP Pro here with WordPad. I was able to successfully
create and save the following files:
.testing.txt
.testing2,5=grwx.txt
.testing2;5;@=grwx.12345.txt
.testing2;[EMAIL PROTECTED]
.testing2;5=grwx.txt
However, I was *not* able to save the following file due to an invalid
filename:
.testing2:5=grwx
So, it appears that the colon is the problem here.

Hmmm.
Oddly (?) enough, you can make a ".FILE" using a dos prompt (cmd), but not
using the win GUI. RMB->Create new->Text file on your desktop (or anywhere
using windows explorer) and try and create a file named ".dotfile". You
can't do it (in XP-pro anyways).

In case cygwin was doing some filename mapping, I tried it in cmd:

C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\t>del .dotfile
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\t>echo dot >.dotfile
