Richard, After reading your message again I realized that just typing in the filename of an existing file *does not* create the prompt as you described *and* does overwrite the file without duplicating the extension. However, if I select the file using the mouse, I then get the prompt with the file duplication and doubled up extension. Sorry for not paying closer attention to your message.
