Or just open up explorer, go to view-options (or similar) and find the option "hide extensions of known file types", make sure it's unchecked, and when making a new file, right-click on the directory, go to new-textfile and name it.

Or, just add ""s around the name of the file when saving in Notepad. :-) -- Johan Venter ICQ 3643877 Visit "The TPU DJGPP Interest Group": http://surf.to/djgppig
