Actaully, it wll wok as a command line
You *need* to have a full path to every file unless XP knows the path
internaly
So say if you have mirc, to run it the syntax would be
=c:\mirc\mirc32.exe
Notepad, since xp knows the path
=notepad.exe
etc
If you have a space in the path, be sure to stick quotes around it
example:
="c:\program files\blah blah blah\blah.exe"
This will work with documents too,It will just open the default program that
opens that file type
