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,
