"File"->"Open" is intended for Mathematica notebook files (.nb). On Mac this dialog allows you to choose any plain text file because notebooks are plain text and on Mac OS 9 it was not required to use the .nb extension. Choosing any file from this dialog will attempt to open the file as a notebook, and if that file is not a notebook it will fail to open. This is why you get the error message. For non-notebook files, as you have already found, "Open Special" is the way to go. -Rob
