Re: Extensions and dots in filenames

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

Considering how many people I encounter these days who have
either forgotton the MS-DOS conventions or just never learned
them because their intros to computers came after long file
names, in instances where the file extensions require discussion
it is probably more important to include the dot now than it was
during the olden times when DOS was the common OS.

If the word "extension" is specified and spelled out in the
documentation, and the extension itself is given as ".xyz," is the dot
(.) superfluous? Or is the reference manual simply being thorough?
