	For fun I ran a test using OO. I turned on OO and wrote a 
test message. I saved it to my desktop. It is there.

	I opened this file in OO and added some more words. Then I 
saved this in my home directory. I checked my desktop is still 
there as the original file.

	Then I looked at the file in my HOME and it is the second file.

	All this proves to me this fellow has a non-OO problem. OO 
will leave the original file in the original place until you 
delete it! He should be able to find it on his windows where 
it was originally found. I have no idea how this file was 
deleted. It was NOT deleted by OO!
