     I also noticed this problem as soon as I installed DC SHOWIT.  I
sent a note to Double Click regarding the problem, and Mike Vederman
replied that he was aware of the problem, and had fixed it in a more
recent version of DC SHOWIT.  In the meantime I've been using the
original version without problems (except of course that the WP file
selector only list directories; I've been using the GEM file selector
option in WP).
     Mike, could you please post the fixed version?  I really like DC
SHOWIT (great piece of work!!), but I want my WP file selector back!
(While you're at it, maybe you could patch SHOWIT so that it properly
displays text files with newline separators, rather than just CR/LF
pairs?)  BBB
