Is this thing on??(Check 1-2-3, Check :)   )
I'm reposting something I've posted before because I still don't have
an answer.  


What I'm trying to figure out is how file associations are stored 
internally in OS/2 2.0.  In version 1.3's OS2.INI, I was able to do a 
WinQueryProfileString on PM_ASSOC_FILTER with a key of "*.TXT".  This 
retrieved the name of the program to execute when an icon for a file with 
the .TXT extension is double clicked.  The OS2.INI file is set up quite
differently in 2.0.

I can set up the association OK in WPS, so that when I double click on the
text file's icon(under the drives folder) I get the correct executable to
run.

How can I find, from within my C code, the name of a program that is 
associated with a specific file extension in 2.0? 

According to any INI viewers I've tried, the file extension seems to be
associated with a number.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
