That's how mime.cfg is 'decoded' so-to-speak.

Core.exe converts everything to lower case.

If you need to run an external program that needs upper case
command line options......

Use mime.cfg to "call" a batch file which contains the upper case options.

If pedit.exe (which I use as my external editor), required an option
such as /P instead of /p

(this line in mime.cfg would 'fail')

file/mxedit.dgi   |@c:\pedit\pedit.exe /P textarea.tmp

However, this line in mime.cfg

file/mxedit.dgi   |@call xedit.bat textarea.tmp

And then this line in xedit.bat......

c:\pedit\pedit.exe /P %1

....Works just fine. :))
