Actually, my wordprocessors are in a drawer called "WP's". I've tried
going to other .doc and .txt files in various other drawers and the
results are the same, e!3.0 will not load the files from the hard drive
unless I write it from scratch and reload it after saving it without
ending the session.
I have found that it will load those files from RAM: or RAD: after
copying them from "WP's/excellence!/documents/".
MSS is aware of the difficulty. Andrew Apold pointed me toward the
Arexx script that came with e!3.0 called file.rexx. After loading e!3.0 I
use a shell to execute the file.rexx script. That brings up a requestor
on the e!3.0 screen which asks what directory to load the document from.
When "excellence!/documents/" is entered a different (than the native
e!3.0 one) file requestor comes up which displays the files. I can then
load the file I choose.
