Reading long filenames

["Chuck Creesy" creesy@xxxxxxxx]

My apologies if this has been answered long ago or many times over. I'm
using XyWrite 3.56 and need to read and write filenames longer than 8.3
(they are 10.3 to be exact, representing ISBN numbers). I try reading
the VA$fi value to a variable, but when I PV it, all I get is the first
five characters followed by a squiggle and an exclam. Is there a way to
print the entire ten characters into the file?
