OK Steve,
I know it is different.
I already have my app configured for win32 drag and drop and double-clicking -
AssociateFileType and RegistermyApp. myApp works perfectly.
The problem is that I want to create a text file in a pushbutton event in
another application (myOtherApp), and have it launch myApp and display the file
contents.
OK, I can launch myApp via f.launch but I cannot get the newly created file to
launch myApp.
If I drop the newly created file manually over myApp's icon then myApp is
launched and its contents displayed.
Any advice?
Thanks.
Lennox

OK, so on the Mac you have the MacCreator set up for your app
The win32 equivalent is a much blunter instrument - to associate a whole
file extension with your app.
Are you planning to do that? If not, the launch process will need to be
different on windows.
Sorry if I'm covering old ground but I haven't been following this thread.
