Re: registering xemacs as default editor for C++ files on NT

When xemacs installs on NT, it offers to register itself as the

complete job. In particular, it doesn't register for the ".cxx"
".hpp" or
".hxx" extensions.
Is hpp really an extension? Yuck :)
One thing even more annoying that how many extensions c++ programmers
use is when they open up in something other than emacs :-)
Suggestions -
1. the simple:
Register for those types as well. I can't imagine those are used
for anything other than c++
I will do this.
2. the complete:
Put up a dialog box asking for which extensions to register
emacs. Emacs, being gods own editor, is useful for so many file
types (perl, python, html, xml, batch, ...) that power users could
well like to pick and choose from a larger menu.
My preference would be to add registry editing capabilities to XEmacs so
that you could do this from lisp.
