For example the MyDocuments folder is not listed. But if I specify a path and filename which is not listed, it _will_ open the file. I tried editing a word file (which wasn't listed) and it found it and wrote it (with a different filename) but when I tried to open the file after booting Win98, I got an error message (check filename and permissions on file and directory...) The KDE editor and KDE file manager show all files and directories under the /msdos directory and will edit them and write them and I have no problem opening the files again under Win98. *BUT* I have only used the KDE editor with text files, not with word files. Is anyone aware of these problems, know of any fixes/workarounds? Am I doing something wrong? Any help is very apprecitated.
