I get a dialog saying that "these names are reserved for the System. Choose another."
I always thought the only char you couldn't enter was the colon.

The above behaviour is what I see in Leopard (10.5) as well.
I.e. you can't put a dot at the beginning of a filename using Finder.
But note that you can of course put dots in filenames using Finder, just not at the beginning (since that makes the file hidden in Finder). |
