I'm new to Windows Mobile PDAs. Very fustrated by how obtuse most of the OS is compared to Windows XP. I've been trying for more than an hour to open a text file. I don't want to download other crappy little utilities to do so, I'd like to use builtin Notes or PocketWord. I've renamed the file to have a .txt extension but PocketWord still refuses to show it in it's file listing.

What was the extension originally.

Open it on your PC then go to File>Save as> and save it as a text file rather than just change the name.

I downloaded it from my http mail server when I was at a hotspot. I'm just surpised at how difficult it is to do something so trivial (i.e., opening a file in a text editor, regardless of the extension).
