Changing player company names

I am considering writing a patch for -Standard after I have got -Experimental 7.2 out which would allow players to change the name of their own player company. I know that this is something that has been mentioned by Prissi in the past as a desirable feature. Before I start, are there any issues or traps of which I should be aware in coding a feature of this sort? In particular, how would I ensure that it would be network safe?

For network mode, you must ensure that the company is renamed on all clients. However, all this renaming stuff does not work ovr network yet (cities, stop, lines, etc).

Ahh - should I hold off until other renaming works?

The main problem with renaming is the UI; player options (also for AI there could be some options) are not implemented yet. Other than that I planned to make next to the p****word also the name changeable for network gaming (and of course nomal gaming). But the money frame is already too large. So I am not yet sure which way to go.
