WARNINGS
The file is the switch that marks a long name system. If it is missing, short names are assumed and the variable is ignored.
While many programs are unaffected by long names in a short name environment, some may behave abnormally and some may abort.
It is recommended that you do not attempt to restore the short name environment once long names have been enabled.
Do not use the system constant with the command or the function to test for name length; it is not changed when long names are enabled.
