Thank *you* for handling that key issue so quickly 
and so well, Rick!  We will start mentioning it in 
the User's Guide as *the* safe way to get such names.

I note that this is FrameScript, and therefore works 
only for those using Frame as their DITA editor.  That
is a shrinking population.  Have you considered doing
something similar for DITA in a more general way, so
that those using other editors (like oXygen) could
also use it?  The DITA user base is expanding fast,
and it can really use good toolmakers like you!  ;-)
