The following works: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell -- had to create XQXSETCMD1 - is what X-Setup creates ABC - is what I created instead - I gave it a value of "Edit with VIM" command - I gave it a value of "vim %1" Now the only problem is that VIM complains with "unable to open swap file". If I go to the directory directly in a bash box and enter vim xxx all is well. It is only the * entry that is needed. The "unknown" only works for files whose extension is not recognized or files that do not have an extension (suffix). Are there any quick ideas on why vim is complaining about the swap file?

All keys created here are used by default for any file for which there is no explicit class. For others I'm afraid you have to add a command for *all* HKRC\*\shell keys ;-( I really hope someone knows a better solution, Bernard -------------------------------------------- Bernard Dautrevaux Microprocess Ingenierie 97 bis, rue de Colombes 92400 COURBEVOIE FRANCE Tel: +33 (0) 1 47 68 80 80 Fax: +33 (0) 1 47 88 97 85 e-mail: dautrevaux@microprocess.com b.dautrevaux@usa.net -------------------------------------------- -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
