Because I come from a DOS/Windows background, I *would* like an automatic
extension, even in Unix. It's an easy way for me to keep track of word
processing docs, spreadsheets, etc. in the same subdirectory.

Actually, I've had a few problems with this: AbiWord would open its own
documents as text files, i.e. displaying all of the XML codes as text in
the documents. I have v0.7.1 installed for both Windows and Linux, and
don't remember the specifics of the problem. I'll try to see if I can
reproduce it in the next few days and find out more information.
I've also had problems with AbiWord closing without warning. This usually
happens while I'm typing (and, due to Murphy's Law, it only happens when
I'm typing something semi-important <g>.) This occurs in both Windows and
Linux, produces core files in Linux (I think), but I don't know how to
dissect the core files. Are those files useful to developers? What
additional information might help to determine the causes of these
crashes?
Thanks,
Ryan
