Isn't there an argument in the ask file dialog that allows you to specify which types of files you will be able to open? I think you have to give it a list of extensions there. It's in the help stack if so. Keep in mind that to the OS, .SAC and .SACp are NOT text file extensions. They are probably unknown.
