Sue,
You need to get a program associated with the brf file type, but if it
doesn't happen automatically, i.e., by asking you to choose from a list, I
don't know what to do. I bet some computer-savvy soul, like maybe Jake,
does know how to associate a program with a file type, though.
Good luck. It's annoying, to be so close, and yet so far.
