Are the weird hex codes, generated by using a UUID, going to come back to 
haunt me if I use UUID's to name my IFS files?

EVAL UUID

  UUID = 'lnõn. Ðä'

EVAL UUID :X

     00000     93952803 1D2518CF 954B0004 AC08432B   - ln.....õn...Ð.ä.

Would prefixing them be "a good idea"?  Like prefix them with "UUID" so 
that I can do a RMVLNK '/tmp/UUID*.txt'?
