Yes, I tried that, no difference. I presume that \hyphenatedfilename is
for use with filenames that already have hyphens in them?
Mine don't, but I want them to split. Perhaps splitting filenames is
frowned upon - if so, what is the best way to put them into documents?
Or perhaps I should use shorter filenames, but why should I compromise
readability? One example is "Transfer functions for PID and KF
controllers.xmcd"
Any ideas or comments?
Richard
