Using Win95 Explorer, I can open a Samba/UX directory, right click, and create
a new folder just fine.

But when I attempt the same thing in a Samba/iX directory, Explorer errors
out with:

        Unable to create the folder 'New Folder'
        The system cannot find the file specified.

Explorer never bothered to prompt me for a folder name.  It apparently tries
to create 'New Folder' as a literal folder name first, then prompt me for the
name I want, then do a rename.

Under MPE this will fail because of the space in 'New Folder'.  Does anybody
have a solution other than having HP liberalize POSIX file naming rules?  ;-)
