Completely.  But with the apparent peculiarity that extension $$$ (my
editor's backup) is known to the registry, although the corresponding
.Type string is "$$$ File", similar to that for a file with extension
OK4 which is not so known.

Aside to non-Anglos :
        What would the .Type property be for an unregistered file in
        systems set for other well-known Western European languages?
        E.g. Fichier OK4 / OK4 Fichier, etc.?  Users are required to be
        able to read instructions in English, but should not be required
        to have an English-speaking Windows.

Not really; you are going further that I wish for.

I wanted a routine that would accept text, a line at a time (P.S. to be
strictly accurate, these lines could contain newlines), and cause it to
appear as it would in Notepad.  The example is tabular, but other lines
are not.  To illustrate, here's a command-prompt screen capture :

prompt>seek . n
  :: SEAKFYLE.JS >= 2012-01-09, at 2012-01-09 20:21:56, see SEAKFYLE.HTM
 2012-01-09 17:40:34        33275 .....a.. "SEAKFYLE.$$$"
 2012-01-09 17:41:00        33291 .....a.. "SEAKFYLE.HTM"
 2012-01-09 17:38:37        17603 .....a.. "SEAKFYLE.JS"
| Date/time now : 2012-01-09 20:21:56
| Find : 3 matches
| Finding in : C:\WSH\SEEK ; 31 ms


If I do the following command line, nothing appears in the screen before
the next prompt, as Q sets all output to Channel 3 which is sent To file
xyz.

        prompt>seek . n Q333333 Txyz

and file xyz. can be opened in Notepad (except for needing an 0D before
each 0A, which can be dealt with (most easily by using WFVIEW instead)).

Aside : AFAICS, no GUI editor or viewer that I have can AFAIK accept
        piped-in text, which is a pity.

What I want to end up with is using essentially the same code as I have
at present, but as a GUI application - instead of opening a Command
Prompt and giving it a Command Line, to open a GUI window and give it,
with some equivalent of a JavaScript prompt(), the commands.  Or just
command-line in, GUI out.

I forgot to say that the GUI needs to show each line as it is output
from the current code, without waiting for the stream to complete.

The alternative seems to be to use an HTA, treating my existing code as
an include file of functions and variables, and suppressing any unwanted
parts.  That should be easy, if I learn about HTAs first - - - which I
seem to have done.

It's now fundamentally working in an HTA, but the adapting needs to be
cleaned up, though not tonight.
