[foxboro] stddisp

Freelist Wizards:  I have mentioned earlier having to repair/replace  many of 
the standard templates/overlays that came with a new Windows/Mesh  system.  
There is one more that is stumping me that I can't find.
 
It started with noticing that when I had a detailed display up of a CIN  
block, and did a SOURCE on the IN parameter, the source path that came up 
(which  
referred to a pakin bit) would truncate the last digit of the bit  identifier. 
 No problem for bits 1-9, but .B18 for example, would show  as .B1.  Real 
problem if you're trying to validate PLC's.
 
I thought "I've seen this type of problem before when compound names  were 
being truncated at 9 characters."  I successfully fixed a bunch of  templates 
in 
that case and duly put them in /opt/customer/displib/Overlays,  where they 
continue to work nicely.  So I decided to try the same approach,  only to find 
that the Detail button refers to "stddisp", and for the life of me,  I can't 
find that template in order to give the pathname final .extension a  little 
more 
length.
 
Does anyone have any ideas?  I did both a Unix find and Windows search  and 
didn't find any files with stddisp in the name.  I haven't bothered to  call 
Foxboro since they never responded on the initial problem with the compound  
name truncation.  And yes, I checked and this problem exists both in the  
Unix/Solaris domain and Windows/Mesh, so it's been around a long time and who  
knows 
how many false tracings it has led to.  I suspect that the problem  only 
exists where the C:B.P takes the full 32 characters, however even in  this 
case, it 
reports the additional extension, but only 3 characters,  ie .B1 instead of 
the possible 4, ie .B18.
 
OK, you gurus, have any of you encountered this?  Is there such an  animal as 
a stddisp template/faceplate/overlay?  If so, where is it or how  is it 
disguised?  If not, what can I do to see both digits?  Thanks,
