It has.... *sigh* I know my way around Resedit and the Mac, but not when I 
don't have the time to debug the problem....

That's the way I saw it happen..  Unfortunately, I didn't have the time (nor
did the user on the Mac afflicted) to figure out the problem...  Copying the
file, and trashing the original now made all the other MacWrite docs 
"Copy of [original file name] document".  Fastest thing was to lauch MacWrite
manually, open the copy, print it, and then trash it, (also the orginal), and
re-type it....  It was faster than hauling out Resedit seeing the bundle bit
(if I had noticed it), figuring out to rebuild the Desktop, and all that good
stuff Pat figured out on his own...

If anyone hears about one, or wants to know if they'll get $10 for writing a
shareware utility, please let me know - I'll pay to have this on my
Appleshare..  

	Thanx Pat, for letting me know that something isn't real flakey with 
that user's hard disk....
