[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1894535, member: 190607"] A further note. The reason that Ralph's files don't have a file name extension is because when they were originally created, the Macintosh didn't use file name extensions. At that time the Mac still used invisible (metadata) Creator and Type info. Actually, the Macintosh can still recognize that metadata, and it did when I double-clicked on the file that Ralph sent me.
