Hi Rob,
Looks like you're on Windows, and you have probably fallen victim to the
Microsoft (and Apple) "hide-everything-you-can-from-them" file
manager
defaults. Your file "Rklein" probably has an extension on it (maybe
.dta?) and if you can find that by turning off extension hiding, you
will probably see the solution immediately.
