Hi Sarah,
I've tried that too with the same useless result.
Thanks for trying.

Hi Richard,
When at the "file name" prompt, press space with x until it says
"all files" or something to that affect. Then, and only then, write
your file name, complete with a .brf extension. I've done this
several times, and messed it up a few times, and this is the only
way I know of to make sure you get it exactly right.
