Quick answer needed for Notepad
I need a command line entry for notepad. ex load program and then file from 2 different locals on disk. c:\windows\notepad.exe and the text file is c:\newschools.txt. The program has to be loaded so I can't just type the c:\newschools.txt, I have to have the c:\windows\notepad.exe and then the file to open with it. I hope this is clear.

I do not know the commands to automatically open the file. Some one can fill it in.
What I did, is to go to MSDOS.
Made a bat file by typing Edit school.bat
The edit screen appears in blue
Type cd..
Type c:\windows\notepad.exe on the next line
Type exit
Save as school with the default .bat
Whent to Windows Explorer
C:\
Clicked on School.bat
Chose 'make short cut
Moved the short cut to the screen
Next Clicked on the ICON
Went to Properties
Clicked on Icons
Chose a new Icon instead of the default MSDOS icon.
