neat trick with Opener



Dear Folks,

	I haven't been able to get all the stuff done for NeXTWORLD  
Expo that I was hoping (MSW 5.0 still has many irritating bugs).   
Could anyone with Opener try using it to automatically open  
executables and documents?  I was going to grab it from the archives  
and see if I could configure it to work and then show it at NeXTWORLD  
Expo.  I'm not sure I'll have the time.

	Executor-MSW can be run from the command line as long as it's  
pathname is fully qualified (i.e. starts with "/").  Similarly if the  
next argument is an executable app then that application will be run  
at start up, similarly if the arguments after that are the proper  
type documents for the executable then they'll be opened on startup.   
I think this should be enough for some resourceful soul to get things  
going.

	Now that I've speculated that it should work, let's all cross  
our fingers.  I know it will make a few people a little more happy.
