I agree with the batch file solution, yet found something of interest for
future reference.
I set up a shortcut that was    c:\tse32\e32.exe -n100    and clicked it.
TSE started with -n100 in the "File to Edit" dialog box.  This shows that
the info is truly there, but is overwritten when you drag a file onto it...
perhaps due to the space in the command.  Win95 MAY be pasting the filename
after the first space and thus misses the point.
For whatever it's worth.
   Jim
