oh wow, TextEdit just let me save a dot file... i don't think that worked in regular Leopard.

It does, once you click your acceptance of a dialog which states:

Quote:
Names that begin with a dot "." are
reserved for the system.


If you decide to go ahead and use a name which
begins with a dot the file will be hidden.
