When I open the Save As dialog with a unknown file type (eg windows.contact) RPHP assumes that I'm going to save an .htm file and adds ".htm" to the end of the current file name. This is probably intended to be helpful but I find it more of a nuisance than a help. My suggestion is:
- remove this "aid" altogether.
- at least remove it when the current file already has a filename
- certainly remove it when the current filename has a "." (and and implied extension) already.

Re: Save As file types
But if I saved a file as 'St.Anthonys-2009' I'd want it to save it as 'St.Anthonys-2009.htm'. What works for you, then doesn't work for me.
If you don't want a file saved with an extension, wrap it in quotation marks, eg, "windows.contact". WeBuilder (and most Windows applications that use the standard Windows dialog) then won't add an extension, and will save it with the file you specified.

Re: Save As file types
And if you press ALT and F4 at the same time, you get a nude picture of a famous movie star... 
(there is a great IRC chat thingy where someone posts that by pressing ALT & F4 you can get a chance to win a great prize, and then there are numerous disconnect messages, as all ALT & F4 does is terminate the IRC chat client. Its a bit nerdy really, but quite funny!)
