-=PCTechTalk=- how? Milady...

Are you talking about Open Expert?  Open Expert gives you an "Open With" option 
when you right click on a file.  Before you've configured it, or when you click 
on a file type that you haven't configured it for yet, it will just say 
"Configure Applications."  If you click on "Configure Applications," it will 
open up a window where you can add all the applications you could possibly want 
to use to open that particular file type.  Next time you click on that file 
type and select "Open With," you'll get a list of all the programs you entered 
for that file type and you can just select one.

I figured out how to get into notepad BUT I noticed that there isn't
anything included in that right click that you can send to for READING
in--it's all storage..WEIRD..>>>>>

When you double click on a WordPad or NotePad document, they automatically 
open.  They are text editors, or very stripped down versions of a Word 
Processor.  When you double click on the program, it automatically opens a 
blank document window ready to fill with information.  The problem with WordPad 
is, when you go to save a document, the default format is Word and it will be 
saved that way unless you pick otherwise.  If you choose to save it as a Text 
document, it won't save your formatting, but it will open in WordPad when you 
double click it.  If it saves itself with formatting as a Word document, it 
will open in Word or WordViewer if you don't have Word.  If you don't have Word 
or WordViewer, the alternative is to open WordPad first, then pull the Word 
document in under File/Open.  Another alternative is to use Open Expert and 
configure it to open a Word document in Word, WordViewer, or WordPad, then 
right click on it and select which one you want to use.
