Unknown extensions? but WordPad is Windows XP's own document, isn´t
it?

anyway, I do not think I would be able to do what you are telling me to
do. It would be much safer for me to copy all the relevant files on
NotePad (the simple text processor) even if that took about 4 or 5
hours. Yet of course I am saving your instructions just in case push
comes to shove.

and yet it is very strange. Isn't WordPad the text processor of Windows
XP? there seems to be only that and NotePad, and yet in its
"Properties" it is defined as Windows NT. ?????

there must be something basic that I do not understand.
