   This is caused by the fact that the pathname system is
   recognising .TXT as being the canonical representation for
   the :TEXT file type under VMS.  

Except that I've had the same problem that Bob had on my MicroExplorer,
with no VMS machines anywhere in sight (or any other remote machines).

It seems to me that it should *never* change any part of a filename that I
don't change myself (irrespective of any mappings or settings).
