Re: Member name issue in RDP 8.0.3

Hey Jon, I'm seeing the escaping of the underscores now as well when I try 
it.  I'll look some more into it.

I couldn't reproduce the save error for a source member with an underscore 
though.  It seemed to save ok on my end, despite showing the name weirdly 
in the title bar.  Does this happen for you every time on a save?

[WDSCI-L] Member name issue in RDP 8.0.3

I have noticed since updating to 8.0.3 that RDP has an issue with
underscores in member names, M_CTL_RUN becomes M_5FCTL_5FRUN wherever the
member name is displayed. For what it's worth, hex '5F' is an ASCII
underscore. The only real issue this caused was trying to save the member
that I had open when I updated to 8.0.3 and RDP blew up when I tried to 
save
after changing the member, probably something to do with source physical
files not liking member names longer than 10 bytes.
