Forum won,t let me attach file type.

Larry the forum will not let me upload an res. type file. I tried to rename it to a text file. But windows would not allow me to rename it.

A RES file is a special type file. RES stands for resource.  The reason it looks the way it does is because of what it can contain.
The one with the WYSIWYG editor class contains all the images for the buttons in the editor plus some javascript.  Thats why if you opened it with a text editor it sort of looks like a text file with a bunch of garbage with it.

It is never intended for a user to directly open a resource file.  When the program is run it extracts files from the RES file.
There is a section in the EB help file on using resources.

Reading the fine print in attaching files it says you can only attach "txt, doc, pdf, jpg, gif, png, zip, src, inc" files.
So you could have zipped the file and attached it.
