Thanks Bryan,
On some of this stuff like the editor, it was just my best guess and some times
my best guesses are not very good.
On naming a track it seemed like the best way to do it for now at least for me.
Maybe at some point I will figure out how to clean out that directory.
Thanks for the good words on the guide and for linking it.
