Description Ron Bodkin CLA 2006-10-15 12:19:36 EDT 
Use case: I want to open an external script (setclasspath.bat) using the File|Open file... menu item but I can't edit it because the default system editor runs the file. I can't even change this behavior using file associations to make the text editor the default for *.bat.
