In ROX, right-click the file, Set run action, and type the name (or full path if the app isn't in your path) of the program you want to use. I use gedit for quick edits in gui. You can also drag and drop the executable to if you prefer. There has been talk that ROX might eventually let you choose multiple apps for opening a file type. Dunno if that will happen or not. You can also use the "Send to" feature. Again, right click, and you can work up a little script to send the file to a program. This is handy for example with Gimp, which will want to start up a whole new gui even if there's already a Gimp running. I "send" the files to gimp remote, and it opens in the already running Gimp.
