Description G. Wayne Kidd CLA 2002-06-12 16:46:03 EDT 
A user should be able to invoke an external tool based on a Workbench file
association.  If you can use the external tool on a selected resource, then it
should be one of the choices for Open with...  That way, the user can invoke the
external tool in the same way as other things that they do with the resource. 
It would provide a more natural flow.
