Should + not be used?
Only ascii letters from [a-z] are supported as far as I know. If anything else works, be happy but it's not guaranteed. It's a bug - or maybe better - a known restriction and if I'm not mistaken it's mentioned somewhere in one of the manuals. Additionally you can find a discussion on the mailing list several weeks/months ago.
It seems to work ok without modes, but I haven't tested deeply.
As mentioned above, use it on your own risk, it may fail. Marco

Thanks, but this says nothing about "+" character specifically. Shouldn't it be in the same category as "-"? Regards, Vedran Miletić

(Probably not so related to Ctx and OSs other than Win - "-" was DOS valid character but "+" was not: http://www.bsdg.org/swag/DOS/0082.PAS.html Win command "copy" and "xcopy" treats "+" as a separator of file names for some special action.) BTW: When talking about special characters of file names again - - I'd vote for '_', '~', '@', '$' and '!' to be valid chars in file names as well. Lukas -- Ing.

It's easier and less error-prone to say what characters are guaranteed to work, than to say what characters could cause problems. There are a lot more characters, that you could try: !"'`§$%&/()=?{[]}\*,;:_°^|<>@ and all kind of 8-bit characters of course! -- Peter
