Hmmmm - obscure command lines "simpler" than a GUI  -  you must be a 
Power User. :-)

That's good if you already have the filetype info for "RunRevFile" set 
up - but you probably won't.

It looks like you can do that by giving the command
ftype RunRevFile = "C:\Program Files\RunRev 2.6.1\revolution.exe"  "%1"
         (adjusted to correct directory for your Rev installation)
but I haven't tested that. 

And those last two commands Xavier gave should be

assoc .mc=RunRevFile
assoc .hc=RunRevFile

(i.e. you want the period before the extension names).
