I can add back the .dir extension to the mhexternal.pl filter. I can add the option "nosubdirext" for it so users that do not want it have a way to remove the extension w/o patching the code. I know the original reason, as mentioned by a user, for removing the .dir extension was due to the stupidity of other software, but I figured there would be no harm to remove the .dir. I can create a minor update release of MHonArc, which will include some other modifications beside the .dir thing, in the next couple of days if you desire. --ewh
