There is another possibility. It may be that your system isn't showing you
the extension as it's a common .txt extension. Windows has an unfortunate
tendency to put visual icons to depict file types and you are left to wonder
what type of file it is. Check undre My Computer/Tools/Folder
Options/Advanced to make sure the option called "hide known extensions for
commonly used files" is not checked.
Hope this helps.

No, no, don't rescan it. I imagine all you have to do to open the file
is highlight it, hit f-2 and rename it with a name having a .txt
extension. Good luck.

lost the file I did tonight, because I tried to open it in Ob, and it said
there was an error in opening it,, and then it went away. So now I have two
files on my desktop that I can't open, and I have to rescan my most recent
book because the file on Ob disappeared. I'm going to bed, grin!
