I tried the suggestion to open the RUN box, typed in WORDPAD, and I get the message "Can't find Wordpad or one of its components". Also, the FIND command cannot locate it. I do not understand the comment about AFAIK. This machine is running Windows-95 - is Wordpad supposed to a part of W-95? The only word processing program on this machine is Microsoft WORD. Is there a site from which I might be able to download this file?
