I recently copied a file with an underscore ('_') in the file name from a
Mac to an NT server only to find that the file was not recognized by a
Windows 95 computer and, furthermore, I could not rename or delete the file
(now on the NT server) using the Mac that copied the file to the NT server
in the first place! The only way to manipulate the file was at the NT
server's console where I could rename it or delete it and THEN it would
work.

Why does this happen?
