RE: [Boa Constr] Windows SendTo

Excellent. I forgot about that approach. Works like a charm, though I did
have to change things for my setup. I used:

c:\python21\python.exe C:\Python21\Boa-0.0.5\Boa.py

Which now has me wondering whether having the Boa version number in the
directory name is going to be more trouble than its worth. I'd be curious to
know what you folks recommend. I'm pretty sure I just let the installer do
its thing. But if 0.0.6 gets installed in a separate directory then all my
links and shortcuts will still be pointing to 0.0.5. I guess you could call
it a feature or a hassle, depending on how you look at it. But I'm starting
to think it might be a hassle.

I can't get it going either. I think the problem is the limited way
that SendTo works. Seems it can only handle executables.

Another alternative is to define an action associated with .py files;

On a folder choose View->Options->File Types or
Tools->Folder Options->File Types

Select Python File in the list (if you have win32all installed)
otherwise a add a new type with extension .py

Now add an action to the type called 'Edit in Boa'
and as application add e.g.
c:\python20\python.exe c:\python20\tools\boa\boa.py

Now you'll have it as an option if you right click on .py files.
