The extension of the filename makes it what it is to many programs in many 
cases, though it is not an absolute.  Programs have defaults for names with 
which they're unfamiliar, but many which do word-processing know about .DOC, 
.RTF, .TXT.

  Dear Cindy, Mike, Gary and Everyone,

  The steps you both sent sound very doable. My question is, if I write the 
  synopsis in word, how does writing dot txt magically make it a text file? I 
  mean, would RTF make it rich text, or would .XYZ cause my computer to have a 
  stroke? Seriously, are the letters after the dot a code that tells the 
  computer to transform whatever you've written in to a certain kind of 
  communication to other computers?

  I won't be so silly to make the fact that computerese doesn't make sense to 
  me stop me from following your instructions. I have 3 beautiful completely 
  validated books lined up pleading to be uploaded and I've got to take the 
  leap.

  Always With Love,

  Lissi
