I think the issue is the other parts of the UI.

Except for the quote chars, the rest of it looks just like a C64 file 
browser, and so... When in Rome, etc.

My point is, if you're wanting to ditch the quotes, revamp the browser 
UI look and feel and use.

Ditch the DIR/PRG/ETC stuff for something else, an icon on the left 
side, or a / in front of the dir name, or after.  Does it matter to the 
browser if the file is a SEQ, USR, PRG file? If not, don't show.

Drive 8/9/10 :-)  Ditch and come up with a better idiom.

I know some people will say: "Well, now, there's special cases so you 
can't do some of those things, but I'd say you should try.  If you're 
ditching the quotes, rethink the UI to be less traditional CBM-specific.

Or, if you're going to be bog standard, keep in the quotes.

Commit to one direction or another.
