    You mean open in an editor? Here's my line:

    epgp, "textpad.exe c:\land4\c\acad.pgp",4

    epgp is the new command to be entered at the command prompt.

    Textpad is my favorite editor. You could use Notepad. I have the path to
    texpad entered in to my file support search path (in options). Textpad
    doesn't know where to get acad.pgp so I have to include the path. 4
    means don't show the command shell window.

    rs


    file itself. im pretty new at customizing to explain in detail please.

    I have to amend that -- it does bring up the window but it makes it
    exclusive; you can't do anything in cad until it's closed again. I'll
    work on it.
