I'm overwhelmed by the quick response. Thank you all very much. 
The short answer: use . or - instead of _ . In my case easy to do.
the long answer: modify my SGML dcl file to allow it in the NAMING 
section. (A question here: I thought jade ignored those, as indicated
by the frequently seen warning 
jade:c:\code\sgml\docbook30\docbook.cat:30:0:W: DTDDECL catalog entries
are not supported
) Not that I understood what the *.dcl files meant. I'd been taking them
as a "given", to be figured out "one of these days."

Thanks.
