Opening Files in OS X

[Jim Biancolo]

Hi Ken,

I'm running RR 2.0.  I think Monte's right in that I have some more reading 
to do.  I should have known saving/opening files wouldn't be *completely* 
platform-independent.  Thanks for the tip though, on this being a possible 
version issue

And thanks, Monte, for the link to your enhanced distribution builder!

Take care,

Jim
