I think I said about 4,000 messages ago that I would be willing to update 
the Windows install so that a double-click opens the files in a default 
editor of the user's choice, with LilyPad being the default.  FWIW that's 
the editor I started with (well, actually the current version is better), 
and it is quite good enough to get you started.  However, I'm too busy with 
college right now, so if someone else wants to do it, please volunteer.

Too many people on this thread saying what's wrong, too few offering to 
help.
