1. off topic: Windows "new" create .exw
In Win98, does anyone know how to make the "new" (file) choice (either from
selecting from "file" or from right clicking on empty space in folder) allow
"Euphoria Windows" file type to be selected? When I look at code-supplied
questions here, I typically select the code, copy it, open an "new" file of
text type, paste it, then rename it to something.ex or .exw in order to test
it, & would rather go directly to a euphoria file type.

TweakUI will do this for ya, all ya have to do is create a template,
drag it into TweakUI, and its done, you've got a .exw template you
can select on <right-click>/New :)

LEVIATHAN,
I don't think I have TweakUI, I was hoping I could do it something like I
did when I added the Euphoria Editor to my "send to" list just by putting a
short cut to it in the "send to" *folder*, but I couldn't find any way to do
this for "new".

4. Re: off topic: Windows "new" create .exw
I think i understand what you want...
Constant code:
global constant
Win = create(Window,"Menu Window",defualt,defualt,0,0,0),
file = create(Menu, "File", Win,0,0,0,0,0),
new = create(MenuItem, "New", file,0,0,0,0,0)
-hopefully that will open a window called 'Menu Window' with a File option
and under file a new option...
-Some tips... If you want to be able to select the options, when running the
program, with keys like Alt + F for file just add the & sign infront of File
in the "".
-Do not forget to put a comma after each line and stop the commas at the last
line.
-Hope that works for you...

Thanks Alex,
but that's not what I meant at all; I wasn't referring to making a *program*
with a "new" option in a menu. I was referring to the *existing* "file-new"
options IN WIN98 itself, or the same options as they would come up when
right click on an empty space in a folder, presenting you the opportunity to
specify what kind of new file you would like to create, from WordPad doc, to
text doc, etc.; and I was wanting to be able to cause ".exw" & ".ex" types
to be included in *those* options, similar to how I made "send to" include
the Euphoria Editor. But I'll try asking this question elsewhere, thanks
anyway.

Check out the archives for a file called eutypes. It has Euphoria file
type set and also the new file menu that you're looking for.
