And the really sick part is if you type
ftype /?
the help text says, among other things:
" gets the 1st parameter, %3 the second, etc. %~n gets all the remaining
parameters starting with the nth parameter, where n may be between 2 and 9,
inclusive. For example:
ASSOC .pl=PerlScript
FTYPE PerlScript=perl.exe %1 %*
would allow you to invoke a Perl script as follows:
script.pl 1 2 3"
I find it very funny that MS software is exampling one of the ultimate Open Source
products!
