I've just installed this plugin and made changes to the robots.txt file. To check
that the changes have been made, go to URL: http:// yoursite.com/robots.txt The 
file that appears should show your changes as they are now in WP's virtual robots.
txt file (as far as I can figure out). If a search engine still finds your file (
that you've disallowed), was it already available BEFORE changes were made to the
robots.txt file? If so, then this might explain why it's still findable.`
