[texhax] Naming Files/YAP?

[Gayle Trent]

Hi:

I recently downloaded TeX and I'm trying to become familiar with the 
program.  Yesterday I created a document using Notepad.  I saved it with the 
following extensions: pdftex, tex, pdf, and dvi.  However, YAP wouldn't open 
any of the files.  The closest it would come is with the dvi extension, but 
then I would get an error message that YAP didn't recognize the file and 
that program as well as my Internet Explorer would shut down.  If it makes a 
difference, I'm running a PC, Windows 98 operating system.  Please help!

Thanks so much for your time and attention.  I look forward to hearing from 
you.

Sincerely,

Gayle Trent
