- Create an empty (or not) file with a .asm (or any other) extension, and drag it from
- the file manager to the cross-assemblers (or whatever) group. Now youll have a
- handy way to start notepad with the right extension in the file list box. By the
- way, be sure to associate .asm with notepad, or else edit the program item
- properties box corresponding to the empty file to read command line "notepad empty.asm".
