Thought about that too, but could have a problem with
<input type="submit" name="file_name.txt">
becoming "file.name.txt", if other form fields are using that logic.
Saw someone else (Andy?) mention the "name" being the problem and not the value.
Instead of messing around with the ".txt", name it "filename" and append a
".txt" later if it's that crucial to the program.
