Hello, i found an issue when testing syncterm on telnetvision.

if the entry name has these characters which winDERZ won't allow in
a directory name: :?*"<>|/\ syncterm will not create that cache direcotry
in
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\SyncTERM

and sound will not work.

i had an astrisk in my directory entry and i spent a looooong time trying to figure out why the hell goterm and icyterm were playing sound fine and
syncterm stopped.

Please let dooce know. thanks.
