ya, this is actually easier than you most people think. simply use some sort
of desktop.inf editor (ie: QUIKINF.PRG, a fine Quick Utility) to edit
the installed applications for your machine. simply pick your favorite text
editor as the installed application, and set the application mask to be 
what ever document you want to look at: ie: if you want to look at all *.C
*.H, *.DOC and *.TXT files using TEMPUS.PRG, simply install tempus.PRG as
the installed application and for each installation give it one the above
search masks. once you re-install that desktop.inf file (ie: reboot, or exit
from QUIKINF.PRG), you can then click on any *.DOC file (or any of the 
masks you set up in the desktop.inf file) and TEMPUS.PRG will automatically
come up with the file loaded for you. simple, eh!!!
