No is the short answer.  To change an adverb - even to make it longer
- would require changing the version ID of the vocabulary which would
make everyone's LASTEXIT and other save/get files obsolete (they would
update noisily but automatically but require manual saving).  You are
telling me that you need file names longer than 46 characters?  That is
both absurd and on many systems not legal (the logical need only be
A:).  If you must - create link files.
