Not displaying extensions? Yes, this is the case on NT 4. You *can* see
the real extension at a Command Prompt. But the extension is hidden on the
Desktop, in Windows Explorer, and in win32 File dialogue boxes. Windows
will also show the appropriate icon, e.g. "foo.txt.PIF" will not show
".PIF" but will use an "MS-DOS" icon on the Desktop, in Windows Explorer,
and in File dialogue boxes.
My thanks to Josh, Jim, PC Help, and others for the info.
