If I right click on a Euphoria program, & select "open with", I see: EXW WordPad exwc Ed NotePad I don't know what the "exwc" is, but I'd like to ADD Judith's Editor, & I can't figure out HOW. I know it will be similar to "Ed", so the Exw.exe can run first & then run the app, but I'm not sure how I got Ed to be there nor how to add Editor. Any help?? Dan

Click on folder options. Click on file types tab. Find EXW (or whichever extension you wish to add a right click item to). Click Advanced button. Click New. For action put in "JudyEdit" For application put in a string similar to
C:\EUPHORIA\BIN\ED.BAT "%1" }}} <eucode>
Not in a very intuitive place, is it? }}}

No, it's not, but that's approx. what I did do, although instead of making a .bat file, on the application line I think I put something like C:\EUPHORIA\BIN\EXW.EXE followed by the path to Judith's Editor, followed by the "%1", and I may have put one or both of those path/names also in quotes, too. But it did work, and it's handy, and maybe your outline will help someone else also to do something similar. Thanks, Dan
