I have just discovered that 4.1.8 does not have this problem. Actually this is
the form of NDO2000 I have used the last several years until very recently.

And, as far as I can tell, it has all the positive features of 4.20. So I will
simply fall back and use 4.1.8. One of the advantages of the various versions
of NDO2000 over 3.2a is the ability to open various graphic files and RTF files
directly by double clicking.

Have you tried copying the NewFile from 4.1.8 into 4.2.0, and seeing
what effect that had? (After carefully backing up your original of
course!)

I can't remember what the differences were either, although you can
see the difference easily between 3.0/3.2/3.2A and NDO2000. I've moved
over almost competely to Breadbox Ensemble, although I still visit
NDO2000. They are both nice environments to work in.

That is, of course, something you can change by editing your GEOS.INI
file.

I prefer some files (BMP, PCX etc) were opened in Media Viewer, for
example, rather than Artist so I made the appropriate changes. You
don't even have to edit out the existing associations - GEOS just runs
down the list until it finds the first association that fits.

For this reason, you don't put *.* = Text Editor up the top of the
list .... : )

No.

But I had 4.20 installed on two different PCs. I tried various NewFile
databases on each. The bug was there on both.

But I am happy using 4.1.8.

I am curious what other feature differences there are between 4.1.8 and 4.2.0.
