Chances are the files are going to be in unix format, anyway.  So,
having a .txt isn't going to work.  It is better if you add a shortcut
to your SentTo/ directory to notepad.exe and to wordpad.exe.  That
way, you can just right-click on the appropriate README file | select
Sendto-> | select Wordpad.
