Re: Daily build - file association

Yes, those are the steps I've been trying. The problem occurs between steps
5C and 5D. After I browse to & select jedit.exe, it's still not showing up
in the "Open With" dialog, so I can't proceed. There doesn't seem to be any
way to get it to open with jEdit from that end. Thanks for trying!
