Hrm, it seems Text files aren't even in the default list of filetypes. But, you can add it. 1) Click on the C in the upper-left corner 2) Click on Filetypes 3) Click on New type 4) Enter a descriptive name for the filetype in the Name: field (eg, Text file) 5) Select 'DoubleClick-Action' 6) Click 'Add command' 7) Select 'own command' and hit Okay 8) Enable 'Run in background' 9) In the program: field, enter the command you'd like to run when the Text file is double-clicked. eg, nedit {f} 10) Hit Okay 11) In the Pattern: field, enter: *.txt 12) Enable "Use Pattern" 13) Enable "Ignore case" (if you want the action to also work on .TXT, etc) 14) Save everything Lots of steps, but it does make Worker extremely configurable. It's by far my favourite file manager for X. -- Adam
