Problems with THE FILES and long filenames

Hmm, It seems like MacOS X will give the correct response using "The Files"
up to 31 characters.  After that it appends a "#3A624" after the 31st
character.  Windows doesn't seem to have that problem.  Is there a place we
can submit bugs to the Rev staff?

Thanks.
