[pmmail-list] Rexx or batch files for MIME associations with CMD.EXE (was "... other issues")

[Jonathan Seder]

    >>...  I've got a batchfile called "antiword2.cmd" that contains the following:
    >...
    >Cmd files under OS2 are text-based files interpreted by the Rexx
    >interpreter. Only binary application executables can be specified and run

Not exactly.

You can attach a Rexx (or batch) command file (such as c:\tools\mycmd.cmd) to a MIME association with the following:
	Program To Execute:	cmd.exe
	Arguments:		/C c:\tools\mycmd.cmd %s
%s will get the name of the attachment, unquoted, "as is".

Type "help cmd.exe" to learn more.
