Hmmm. Did you have w98 set to show extensions? I did this test and the file extensions remained the same. *.txt.vbs. Note: I did not use a word processor to create the file, but just used windows explorer. The only other thing I can think of is that when you save the file in a word processor, you will get the ext (word97+ is .doc) renamed by the word processing program. I state, with no particular knowledge, the when you save a .vbs file as a .text file, it is no longer an executable file. And therefore harmless. Unless you are saying there is a weakness in word, which allows text files to execute. I no Linux Pauling, software guy, but I don't T H I N K so. Thoughts???
