John,

I suppose this could be a problem with my system. I tried uninstalling
AbiWord, cleaning the registry (Norton Utilities), installing again, and the
problem is still there. I've also found that if I change the default for
opening .rtf files to AbiWord (from MS Word), the same problem comes up--the
file can't be found. (And, again, a new blank AbiWord document comes up.)
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Incidentally, Windows 98 doesn't have the "Open with" option for .rtf files,
at least not on my computer--only the "Open" option, which opens them in MS
Word.
