Hmm.

I think I have isolated what is up.

As the file has spaces, xterm seems to be trying to create and open 3 different files,

'DOSbox', '0.73', and 'Preferences.txt'

As three were created in that dir, as well as the original file.

What command are people using to open and edit the file?

Try vi "DOSbox 0.73 Preferences.txt" with quotes, or put a backslash before each space, both ways should work.

Just use tab to auto-complete the file name.
Defaultly, bash uses backslashes to escape control characters like space.
Single or double quotes also help to fight the problem.
