Okay. I have fired up my VRPC running 6.20 and I can replicate your issue. I cannot replicated on my A9home running 4.42 due to not having the same options. Issue on RO6 would appear to be due to the "Object name display" setting from within Configure-Pinboard-Interface. Under "Object name display" there a setting: "Show all CAPS in lower case". When ticked this shows the non numeric portion of the filename that are all in capitals as lower case: - BP2602 = bp2602 BPx2602 = BPx2602 (this displays correctly because the non numeric part of the filename is is mixture of cases and not all uppercase BP6202z = BP6202z (works for same reason as above) Hope this helps :) -- Paul Stewart Sent from A9home running RISC OS 4.42
