Umm, it just works! If XyWrite isn't one of the listed "Open
With" apps, click on "Other", browse to Editor.exe, and add it
to the list of open-with apps (it will stick). Don't add a
/e4000 arg with a *space*, like you told Michael Norman to do...
The e4000 (if you want to/need to/are able to use EMS) goes like
this: "editor.exe/e4000". Thus, the first param [%1] to
editor.exe is the file that explorer has selected -- that gets
CALLed:
 editor.exe[/e####] %1[,startup_file]
