Thanks! But She has a small question some Scandinavian members of this 
ng reads and it is this: The Swedish alphabet has three tail-end 
characters namely 'åÅ', 'äÄ' and 'öÖ'. They are treated as special 
characters whether the codepage She uses is 437 or 850, and they DON't 
sort properly: if She have three files named Å.txt, Ä.txt and Ö.txt and 
does a DIR against them with the 'dir ?.txt', they will show up as 
Ä,txt, Å.txt and Ö.txt. So when She retrieves Swedish tunes via Youtube 
of from a Swedish CD with a Swedish title, She want to transliterate 
these pesky tail-end characters to 'normal' characters, but which would 
be the best transliteration? Currently She uses 'aa' for 'å', 'ae' for 
'ä' and 'oe' for 'ö'. So a music track from Fröken Elvis album 'Elvis på 
svenska / Elvis in Swedish' would be created like this: 
Froeken_Elvis-Aelska_mig.mp3 (Love Me Tender is the basis for this cover 
tune). Note also the use of the '-' and '_' separator characters: the 
underscore is the separator between the artist(s) name and the song 
title while the '_' is the separator in the artist's name if it is a 
multiword name and also in the name of the tune if it's a multiword 
name. When fetching & converting tunes from Youtube, the file name 
suggested nearly always contains space characters, and if they are 
retained the file name will be enclosed with the "<file name'" combo. 
Replacing the space characters with '-' and '_' in their appropriate 
places makes the file name a regular one which don't have these pesky " 
chars before and after the file name, making the handling of the file, 
for example renaming, much easier.
