Maximum length of GoToLink command?

For a variety of reasons, I have three instances of a Jump To hyperlink 
that must reference a file in a book, but the file is being pulled from a 
different directory than all other files in the book.

Twice, I use this path: H:\EFB\Jepp EFB\UGs\AppManager\v1.1\Container 
Files\EFB_Use.fm:Set up flight information and the link works just fine. 
Once, I must use this path: H:\EFB\Jepp EFB\TSGs\AppManager\v1.1\Container 
Files\Maintenance.fm:Set up flight

In the path that is used twice, the total number of characters including 
spaces is 88. In the path that is used once, the number is less - it's 81.

Whenever I enter the path that is used once after the gotolink prompt and 
select  Enter new hypertext marker, it gets converted to this garbage:

H:\EFB\Jepp EFBSGs\AppManager\v1.1\Container Files\smaintenance.fm:Set up 
flight

You can see that EFB\TSGs is now EFBSGs and Maintenance.fm is 
smaintenance.fm.

Of course the link doesn't work and I give - I can enter the first path 
H:\EFB\Jepp EFB\UGs\AppManager\v1.1\Container Files\EFB_Use.fm:Set up 
flight information and this saves just fine and it even has more 
characters in it, so I am assuming that it can't be the number of 
characters, but I am at a loss to figure out why this second path is 
getting saved as this garbage when I select Enter new Hypertext marker.

Thanks!
