Notepad File Extensions (was: Re: )

By default Notepad adds ".txt" to every filename.  You can stop this
behavior (separately for wach different file) by changing the pulldown list
at the bottom of the Save As dialog box so that it says "All Files (*)".
Many other applications force their own extensions on you, and you have to
pay attention to make sure you get what you want.  But they normally tell
you - in that same box - what they are going to give you, so you can change
it.

When you Save a file that already existed befire you opened it, the file
extension is not changed.
