[comp.sys.next] editing from the browser

dorner@pequod.cso.uiuc.edu (Steve Dorner) (05/25/89)

I wish it was possible to use the browser to open files with Edit
that properly "belong" to other applications.  A good example is
a shell script; double-clicking it RUNS the script.  There are times
when I want to EDIT the script, not run it.  If only I could hold
down the command key and double-click the script, and have it
opened with Edit instead of run.  The same applies to other types
of files; PostScript files, for example.
