I am using Mathematica 4.0 under Windows 2000.  I had produced a
notebook and wanted to change its name.  Under File I selected "Open"
and, without opening anything, right-clicked on the file name, and
changed its name, as one can do in various Windows applications.  Then
when I tried to open it, I got a succession of error noises, and a
window telling me the file was corrupted.

I have the text file now, but I do not know how to make it back into a
notebook.  I have tried to do what the instructions say, but it
doesn't work.

Direct email replies appreciated.
