File names with "&" character

Hi . . . I have one problem with Cool Reader (otherwise I LOVE it - don't read with anything else any more . . .)

Any file name or directory name with an ampersand ("&") causes a problem when I close and then re-open Cool Reader. So, as an example, I have:

/mnt/onboard/Kipling, Rudyard/Stalky & Company - Rudyard Kipling.epub

When I close and then re-open, I get:

Error while opening document /mnt/onboard/Kipling, Rudyard/Stalky Company - Rudyard Kipling.epub

(note that the "&" and surrounding spaces have been collapsed to a single space). If I do "Open File" from the menu, I can still select the book, but the reading position is gone.

Environment is a Kobo Aura edition 2 with the latest firmware, KSM 08 + patches, and the 2017_02_02 version of pbchess zip

Thanks!

Dan
