File Open Command

Recently, and at the worse time possible, my File Open command quit working.

When I select File Open with from File, Open or the icon, the command line simply says "default: ." and ask for the drawing.  What is happening is that I would have to type in the entire path and drawing name to get a drawing to open.  The command does not open the a file location to allow me to select the drawing.

The "default: . " has a period in the command echo from the computer... this may be something to investigate... just not sure.  May be a template file issue?
