[UK-CONTEST] Opening files with Wintest not

[Dave Sergeant]

You still haven't told us the extensions Chris. Notepad normally 
opens by default .txt and (probably) .log files but no other file 
types unless you tell it. If these are Cabrillo files then I assume 
they will be all of the form g3sjj.log etc. What is the extension of 
YDX's file, if it is gw3ydx.log then there is no reason why it should 
want to open with a different program than the others. But if he has 
sent you gw3ydx.wtl (or whatever WT internal or Cabrillo log 
extensions are) it will want WT to open it.

Please tell us the facts Chris, then we can tell you what you are 
doing wrong...
