I have OfficePro installed on my Warp 4 fp15 system. It seems to me that
things used to be set up so that if I clicked on an xxxx.doc file, it would
automatically launch MS Word to edit the file. Now I get the OS/2 system
editor. Why?

If I rightt-click on the data file (xxxx.doc) and check the "type" tab,
current type is MS Word. For the MS Word program itself, the "type" is
"executable" and the "association" tab shows "current type" as "MS Word" and
"current name" as "*.doc".

Tried adding a new type of "doc" to the "type" properties of xxxx.doc, but
get the same result if I double-click it... the os2 system editor is
launched.

On the other hand, if I double-click an xxxx.jpg file, it launches a viewer
(I can't tell which program, though) to show the file, and the properties of
the data file show a type of "jpg" even though that choice is not on the
"available types" list.

What am I doing wrong?
