Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Type the following code in the Command window:




x=NEWOBJECT("_xmltag",home()+"ffc\_html")
x.tagname="Bob"
x.value="test"
x.savefile("myfile") 

2. In the Command window, type the following command:




DIR Myfile.* 

Notice the file has no extension.
3. Type the following code in the Command window:




x=NEWOBJECT("_styletag",home()+"ffc\_html")
x.tagname="Bob2"
x.value="test2"
x.savefile("Myfile2") 

4. In the Command window, type the following command:




DIR Myfile2.* 

Again, the file has no extension. In Visual FoxPro 6.0 SP3, the files should have the .xml and .css extensions respectively.
