In addition to Akshat's response, the reason this occurs is that unlike
.PRG, .WFM, and so on, type files, .CC files are not normally
"executable" -- if you double-click a .PRG file, dBASE will run it. If
you double-click a .CC file, it gets added to the .ini file as something
to load when dBASE starts. I would guess you were in the tutorial folder
(if you did the tutorial) when you did this based on the names of the
files. The moral of the story, don't double-click .CC files. ;)
