Solutions: Question:
How is the descriptive name in Long Display created?

Answer:
It is taken from what the user typed after being prompted for the Long Document name while saving. The Long Document name is limited to 68 characters and a 30 character display.

Question:
Where does the filename come from while in Long Display?

Answer:

If a user locks a file, can he give it a long name also?
