When I write out a file (using C-X C-W), and I try to change some part of
the pathname, the system will also change the file type from TXT to TEXT.
Does anyone know how to prevent this?  This only appears to happen with
TXT files and it causes me to end up with different versions of the same
file (some with TXT and some with TEXT).  I usually do this when the host
on which I read the file has crashed and I wish to write it to a different
host.  The hosts are clustered under VMS, so it doesn't matter which one
I use.

Thanks,
Bob
