It's been quite a while since I've used Windows for any length of time,
but I vaguely remember encountering this problem myself, in a different
context.  If I remember correctly, this is actually a Windows "feature",
not a property of DrScheme.  The idea is to allow casual users to save
their Word document as "Letter to Mom" and have Windows automatically
add the appropriate extension, so the user (who probably has their
Explorer configured to hide extensions anyway) doesn't have to think
about it.

To disable this, try putting double quotes around the filename in the
Save As box.  (It's a hack, but I think it works.)
