I realized when I read my reply that I really did nothing to clear up any confusion. Allow me to provide an example. Let's say I have c:\bin\remote.py, and client.py in the current directory. WIthout the file associations for .py and .pyw, I can say: python client.py pythonw client.py If I set up file associations for .py and .py, then I can also say: client.py .\client.py Further, as long as "c:\bin" is in the path, I can also say: remote.py When I add .PY and .PYW to PATHEXT, that also lets me say: client remote without the extension. That's the sole purpose for PATHEXT. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
