Open a file with MC from desktop

[Ken Ray]

Is this in Mac or Windows? In Mac OS 9, you'd need to make sure that the
type and creator codes were associated with the standalone; in OS X and
Windows you'd need to make sure the file extension was registered with the
standalone. Then, when the file is double-clicked and it launches the
standalone, you get an 'odoc' appleEvent in MacOS, and you get the filepath
of the document as a parameter to the application under WIndows.
