I unintentionally invoked WW with a wrong name of a file from the command line: "ww name,.c" Notice the ',' which renders the name invalid. Frustrated, I exited WW -- Alt+x. Then I attempted to reenter it by "ww name.c" and I got "w.ini invalid number" error. I would venture a guess, that is because the ',' in the file name is not escaped when stored in the w.ini and is read as a field separator by the parser of ini files.

As a longtime user of WW, I remember stumbling on this error "invlalid number in .ini" in about 2001-2002, but alas, I was unable to find the pattern of activity to reproduce it.

I think that file names must be checked for punctuation symbols and not even opened, then they will never enter the MRU list.

Thank you for working on WW. Please fix this bug.
