Hello,

you can solv the Notepad and File-Extension problem 
while adding a Point '.' after the last character.

If you want to save the file 'myfile.c' type in the SAVE 
dialog 'myfile.c.' . It works propperly.

I had the problem in WfW 3.11 if I like to save files 
without an extension like'myfile' so I must SAVE it with 
'myfile.'.
