Ooops! I spoke too soon. The new installer zapped all my Euphoria file
associations without my permission. I have .E, .EX, .EW, and .EXW all
associated with my favorite editor, and now I've just had to go back and
redo those associations.

Please, fix the installer to do :

  1) Show what are the current (if any) associations,
  2) Ask permission, for each file type association, you are contemplating
changing.
  3) Only change those ones that the user said was okay to change.
