Create an empty (or not) file with a .asm (or any other) extension, and drag it from
the file manager to the cross-assemblers (or whatever) group.  Now youll have a 
handy way to start notepad with the right extension in the file list box.  By the
way, be sure to associate .asm with notepad, or else edit the program item 
properties box corresponding to the empty file to read  command line "notepad empty.asm".
