[Javascript] Re: Opening file in another app

	Ah so.

	If you want a clicked file to open in UltraEdit, then it must be the
primary app registered for that file type.  Basically, you're not going to
be able to do this without telling all of your users to make registry
tweaks... which probably won't happen.
