Putting a period in a file name while legal in the OS, confuses the parser
that prints the title in the main window caption.  For example if my
workspace title is SYS - B.Workspace.wsp  then the main TS5 window caption
reads SYS - B [Tradestation Chart...] when it should read SYS - B.Workspace
[Tradestation Chart...]

This problem seems to apply to ALL instances where TS5 uses the name.
However, the title shows up correctly in the Open dialog box (which is an OS
operation, not TS5).

Instead of looking for the first period in the string from left to right,
look for the first period from the right to left.

Steps:
1. Create a workspace with a period in the title
2. Load and display that workspace
3. Notice the prematurely truncated title in the main window caption.
