I wouldn't exactly call this a CEDPro bug since you're not supposed to
be able to legally create two files in the same directory with the same
name. 

I suggest you've got some file system damage on your hard disk which 
is beyond the responsibility for applications to worry about.

Release 2? Coming soon. One of the things taking time is: a manual that's
about three times as comprehensive as the original, a much better editor,
and a few personal things.
