I am not convinced that is a good idea.
Persoanlly, I did actually give it a .txt extension, becuase it didn't
show up when trying to import it in PG2.
However, I wasn't sure whether this had actually worked or not once I
had imported it. - I still am not entirely happy as I seem to need to
reimport it each time I run PG2.
Also, you know what people are like; plenty of people wont be able to
work that out.
