Short name and long name

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Marty,

Once a stack is in memory, you can refer to it by its short name. You  
should not change the short name, because usually it breaks your  
scripts. Changing the file name means that your scripts may no longer  
be able to find the file, unless the user chooses the file manually  
(e.g. using answer file).

If you want to make sure that your programme doesn't contain obvious  
bugs, ask a few friends to test it. If you want to deliver a high- 
quality product, hire a (few) good beta tester(s).
