Why do file names gets truncated to 8 characters when I save from Prism 3.00 (Windows)?

This is a bug in Prism 3.00. It is easy to work around. Install Prism into a folder with no spaces in the file name or its parent name... Don't install into "Program Files" because it has a space. If there is no space in any of the folder names, Prism will save files with long file names with no problems.

The problem is fixed in releases 3.02 and 3.03.
