Hi Dan,

I thought I had mentioned this to you before (maybe a year ago or so?) 
but I'll mention it again...

Instead of worrying about where "wordpad.exe" might be located on a 
particular version of Windows... why not just use "write.exe" which 
should already be in everybody's system path (in "windows\system32" on 
XP).  Write.exe's purpose is to start wordpad without having to worry 
about where wordpad might be located.

Hard-coding a path like that is never a good idea anyway.  It wouldn't 
work on my system because my OS happens to be on drive D:
