Can you set the file extension in the logger program's "Save as. . "? I had
an Equus that I could download stored data from, and IIRC, I could put any
extension I wanted on it. Since that was the only program that used it, the
files were always there when I did File...Open from within it. It's been
quite a while since I've used it, though. I might be mistaken.
