= SUMMARY =

If the OS/2 File Manager Associate command is used to associate a document file with Word, after you double-click on the document file in the OS/2 File Manager screen, Word will start in an OS/2 text window rather than an OS/2 full-screen window. Even though Word is set up in a program group to run in a full-screen mode, it will still come up in an OS/2 text window if the OS/2 File Manager Associate command is used.

The OS/2 File Manager Associate command is used to associate or “tie” files together. For example, if the File Associate command is used to “tie” the file TEST.DOC to the WORD.EXE file, when you double-click the mouse on the file TEST.DOC in the OS/2 File Manager, the file will come up in Word.

The File Associate command assumes that the executable file, in this case WORD.EXE, will run in an OS/2 text window.
