The long text file sounds like an unencrypted and/or unstuffed file. Why don't you drag the enclosure to the desktop. Change the file name to one without a colon in it. Colons and slashes can indicate to the OS a supposed file directory structure. For example, any Web address contains a colon and slashes (as in "http://....";). Run the file through Stuffit Expander. See if the file decompresses and is then readable. Roger+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Roger S.
