No, that's precisely why I consider it bogus, even though I haven't
used Windows in years. The list is implicit in a series of if ... else
if ... clauses in the function.
On the other hand, since I haven't been using Windows, I'm unsure
whether there's a way to register an extension as executable, and how
XEmacs could determine that at runtime. So I need somebody who knows
about that kind of thing to look at it.
I looked at the function; you're right - it's totally bogus. There is
a registry key which defines file associations and we could
potentially use that. I'll investigate a bit further.
