OK, here's how you can do it. Go into My Computer, then do an Alt-T for the
Tools Menu, than an O for Options. Alt-Tab until you get to the File Types
tab and tab over to New. The first field is for the File Extension. Type
BRF. You can then click on Advanced, I believe, and you can choose which
program you use to open the file. If that doesn't work, once you type BRF,
go ahead and click OK. Then, from within the same File Types dialog box, you
can find the BRF extension in the list of file types and when that's
highlighted, click on Change Details, and you can choose it from there. I
hope this makes sense. I feel a migraine coming on so this might be kind of
discombobulated and I apologize if it is. Take care.

Sue,
You need to get a program associated with the brf file type, but if it
doesn't happen automatically, i.e., by asking you to choose from a list, I
don't know what to do. I bet some computer-savvy soul, like maybe Jake,
does know how to associate a program with a file type, though.
Good luck. It's annoying, to be so close, and yet so far.
