Notepad comes up. I'm using Win7. Actually, what I meant by "watch wrap" was beware of the newsreader inserting a line break in the long link, but Pegasus' warning is good, too. Ok, try this.

Dave, He is using notepad and when he saves, he is not selecting "All Files(*.*)", so notepad appends a .TXT on the end of the filename, so when he clicks on it it keeps opening notepad. Thats why I hate "hide extensions of known filetypes" as the default setting for file viewing. > Crash > > Atheism is a matter of faith, too.

Selecting Properties worked. A choice for MS script came up, and selecting it produce a small window with "Hello World" in it. There seem to be too many ways to start a script.
