I've never seen a pop-up window, though. Just thought I'd mention it since I also use Mac, OS 9.1.

Julie,
I checked and I too have that file and folder ...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106589. This is all I could find regarding files beginning with periods. What version LW are you using?
Julie to you, or any other Mac users out there, have these invisible files on your HD or know what they are? I searched my HD for them using Norton Fast Find because a normal search wouldn't bring them up due to their being invisible. There are six invisible ones right on the HD itself they are mdt-stamp (space before the mdt) !mdt-stamp, *mdt-stamp, -mdt-stamp, _mdt-stamp, .mdt-stamp and six more in the folder I download to...they are mtd-flag (space before the mtd), !mtd-flag, *mtd-flag, _mtd-flag, -mtd-flag, .mtd-flag.
Thanks
Nas
