If You're talking about an euphoria program then:

sequence cmdLine
cmdLine = command_line()
puts(1,cmdLine[2])

if the program is binded  cmdLine[1] and cmdLine[2] are the same and are the
name of the executable
if the program is not binded then  cmdLine[1] is the euphoria program used to 
run the script, exw.exe or exwc.exe

Does it answer your question?

I don't think I phrased my question very clearly.
When you open, for example, a .e file, it gets opened by ed.
How does ed know which specific .e file it was used to open?

In windows their is a registry of file types, which you 
can get to under folder options

when you examine *.e you may have several actions that windows can take,
these are usually visible from the right click menu when selecting a file
typical actions are Open,Edit,Print

so when I view the open action for the *.e filetype I see the command line

"C:\EUPHORIA\BIN\ED.BAT" "%1"

%1 being the variable for the file name passed to ED.
