This is strange, as I'd thought the only way for an app to be able to 
open documents dropped on it is to assign acceptable file types to it in 
the Windows registry.

If you're not making that registry entry how does the OS know to allow 
your app to accept drops of those files?

Ken could give you the fish, but you'd really be much happier in the 
long run with the fishing pole.  Bugzilla has one of the ugliest UIs 
ever, but after a few posts it becomes acceptable.  It only takes a 
minute to register and confirm, and then you have the keys to the 
kingdom as far as communicating and monitoring technical issues to the 
other half of your development team, the keepers of the engine.

Bonus:  once you're registerest you get to apply votes to feature 
requests, which can be very useful in helping RunRev prioritize 
development efforts.
