TW> YES it is there, but it DOES nothing when I click on it. 

From within a dosbox type "dir c:\wordpad*.* /s /p" which will
scan your entire C: partition for any file that begins with
"wordpad". I see _two_ wordpad.exe files on my W2K install. 

If you have the extensions turned off in Explorer you may be
