Is there any MIME-head out there who knows if multiple file extensions can

Heh, while searching for another tool I just discovered you can do
this on the command line in 2000.  Who would've guessed?  Typing:

   ftype /?

reveals the secret.  To add .ldr on my system would require typing:

   assoc .ldr=ldlite.document

The only tricky part is the substitution of "." for the space in
the filetype "ldlite document".  I don't know why they do that instead
of using the quotes like they do for long filenames.  Probably just
to make it as inconsistent as possible.  I expect it'll be completely
different in XP...

Have Fun,

Don
