How about simply replicating the path string then - until user edits 
manually?

I think it works in platform indepentent way, i.e. treats all the cases 
at once. I could be wrong though. I'm currently at Windows machine where 
I can't build FR (Borland issue) so I can't test.

Anyway, if it does not, we can parse the string ourselves. This was just 
a shortcut.

Well, if alias contains (back)slashes, colons, etc. then yes, it would 
probably cut the string. So, the user would have to edit the name field 
manually for such exotic cases.
