it would probably help folks trying to answer this if you provided a few more details about the problem:

- What version of RapidWeaver created the files?
- What version of RapidWeaver are you using now?
- What is the file extension of the file you’re trying to open?
- If you drag that file onto the RapidWeaver icon what happens exactly? Anything? An error? What is the error message?
