By the same argument, you could say chere has nothing to do with cygwin,
just add your own action to the folder options...
But, I still can't see how to do this. Maybe I'm missing something obvious.
I can associate a file type, say 'TXT' with an 'open' action that starts
emacs, for example, but how do I get the submenu with a list of possible
programs to open with?
