Gris,
after the fiasco that is the Palm Lifedrive, I'm not going to get excited about any palm/palm-related product. My lifedrive is a friggin doorstop after 1 year of use.

I would really love to be able to open files read-only from my right mouse click menu.
You're talking XP, right?
You could write a DOS script that would do the opening, assuming you could pass the file name (of the highlighted file) to the script. Then you'd add the DOS script to the "open with" option (which I know is easily done).

Would that be app independent?
You know what? I miss switches. I mean, I assume and even know they're still out there, but last time I tried to research Eudora's startup switches it was so overly difficult...

DOS can tell the underlying XP OS to open a particular file and XP then picks the correct app based on the usual file-type association. For example, I type an Excel file name on the DOS command line and Excel starts with the file I typed open.
Not sure if there's a "read only" switch for DOS.

Then I don't think I understand your suggestion.

Well, I was hoping there'd be one. Maybe I'll look when I'm sober.
