I managed to answer my own question on this one. In case anyone else wants
to do this, here's how - put the following somewhere in your .sn/rc.tcl
file  to have the make window execute "cat $MyFileName":

    set appname [winfo name .]
    send $appname {set make [sn_make]; $make.make setmakecommand "cat
$MyFileName"; $make.make ExecMake}

Note that "sn_make.make" seems to fail - whereas $make.make succeeds when
$make is sn_make - I'm not sure why... If someone can tell me why, I'd be
grateful!
