Event Editing: Anything other than 'Ramza' breaks the program and TEST

I've been following along with Elric's tutorial on event editing, and for the most part it's been going smoothly. There have been hiccups here and there, but that's part of learning. I figured them out and fixed my own problems. But this...this is just weird. I mean really weird.

I've been toying with dialogue, and for some strange reason whenever I have a name other than 'Ramza' typed, then program then wigs out and completely ruins my TEST file to the point where CDMage won't even import it. It will say something like "$xx is not a valid integer value", where xx is usually the first 2 characters in the name, though when I tried 'fffffq', xx was fq.

I've even tried typing 'Ramz', and it does that. I add that extra 'a', and suddenly presto, it's back to normal. I just can't figure it out. If I try closing the Event Editor and opening it back, it loses the ability to even change the event. I had to export TEST again and start from scratch. It's the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. Can someone enlighten me on this?

Edit: Just got an answer to my question from Raven. Apparently {Ramza} is actually a command to call up whatever you named the main character. To do any other name I'd just remove the brackets. Thanks Raven!
