alrobin Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Hi, Marco,Yes, just change the browse criterion from "exe" to "all files", and then browse for the text file, "readme.txt". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobeefstu Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Marco,Just to add to Al's comment.PTE will execute just about any file ... using the PCs default program that opens or launches it. The Users PC must have the registered file type associated with a particular program thats capable of opening it. (Un-registered file types will not open)Major Note : However, you can not use Parameters. PTE does not have this capability. The use of Parameters has been a suggested topic for a new feature.

Marcovelo Posted November 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Hi,Thank you Al and Stu for your answers.I understand I cannot use parameter currently (as extention association can be different on users computers).So I also vote and wait for PTE to support this feature which seems to be not so complex to add, and really important for me. (in "Run external application" on a specific slide, but also "Run appliction after last slide").Igor, what do you think ?.Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
