Nick -> Nick: But _maximized_? 

Nick Winter

I use the following program to automate opening up my editor (TextPad) 
with a specified file to edit. Presumably code from this could be 
modified to simply open up the editor automatically.

This program lets me type "tp myfile.ado" to open up -myfile.ado- in the

editor.  The -findfile- line means that I can load up an ado file even 
if I'm not in its directory, as long as its along the ado path.

--Nick Winter

program tp
         version 9.1
         qui findfile `1'
         local fn `r(fn)'
         local fn : subinstr local fn "/" "\" , all
         winexec "c:\program files\textpad 4\textpad.exe" "`r(fn)'"
end
