Go to the _program object_ you want to use to open the type of file. Open
the properties menu and select the notebook tab for "Associations". There
you can define the file types and extensions you wish to use for the
program. With OS/2 you can have multiple programs open the same file type -
unlike Windows.
Hope this helps.
