(namestring '((DSK KMP) |.FOO| BAR)) on Tweneces should return
|DSK:<KMP>.FOO.BAR| rather than just |DSK:<KMP>.FOO.BAR| which
it now does. Macsyma cannot write to .SAVE. OUPUT any more and
win. It would be nice to have namelist form be as implementationally
independent as possible. Also, as a side-note,
(namestring '((DSK KMP) |,FOO| BAR))
on ITS just returns |DSK:KMP;,FOO BAR| which is a problem for
things that want to valret filenames, etc. Most of the programs
on the system treat , as a special character in filenames.
