It would seem that if opening a file that doen not exist notepad
appends .txt to the filename.

Testcase:
notepad test.log

File "test.log.txt" does not exist

Do you want to create it?

This means that it is not possible to use notepad to crate a new file
with an extention different than txt with parameters....

It might still be acceptable for notepad to try opening a .txt file IF
IT exists. It should not offer te create a file with a different
extension than specified...
