rename F2 replace :

[iaseac]

rename F2 replace : with either a blank or a plus. This similar to what was done for other items that can not be used in a name.

If you enable this:

Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Rename | Auto-replace invalid characters

XY will just not let you enter a :, and it will replace it with nothing in a pasted string, if instead you want it replaced with a + then put one in here:

Configuration | Colors and Styles | Templates | Dropped Messages | Character to replace invalid characters in dropped messages

That is it... I have the " Auto-replace invalid characters" checked and it appears to work overtime on all the other characters. I had actually found that on my own.
Thanks for the + I would never have found this on my own.
