Hi Kathleen,

Maybe you could do an explanation of the naming convention similar to this:

This column lists each file name using the default instance name
or SID assigned if all defaults were accepted during Oracle installation.

The file name structure is as follows
<orcl><#><type>.ora

where

<orcl> is the default name that may be configured at installation to
a site-specific appropriate prefix.

<#> is an integer based on various table configurations

<type> is the type of information contained in the file.

Hope this helps.
