I think the command processor will search the File Association before it

If you can, you may wish to pose your query in the Fidonet WIN95 echomail
area -- has a _LOT_ of knowledgeable people that could likely provide you
with the answers you are seeking AND the echoarea will deal with *ALL*
genre of Windows...

           Cheers ... Gerald
