Martin,
I can not comment about "what you are doing wrong" but what I understand
about F4 is that it is supposed to open the raw file, whatever it is. This
means to look into what is inside the file, for the purpose of editing it
or otherwise seeing what is really there. That means if for example it is
a binary file then one may be privileged to see plain text or, possibly, a
bunch of hex numbers in a nice rectangular array. One might keep in mind
that this is exactly what some people want to see, and they are glad to
have a convenient way to do that.
Cheers,
Theodore Kilgore
